A small problem on 15.1: When I plug an USB external disk it appears in the icon in the "task bar", I can click to mount it (because they are encrypted, the password is asked). When I don't need it anymore, I click in the same dialog on the "unmount-icon" and it is unmounted. So far everything ok. But: After unmounting it, it disappears from the list of connected devices and is not visible anymore. To mount it again, I must unplug it physically and then plug it again. This drive must be powered from the mains so why not switch it off after Where did your perception of "must" come from? What does "from the mains" mean?
"From the mains" is a common expression meaning the electricity available to you when you plug an appliance into the electrical power point installed on a wall in a domestic structure. And my "perception" comes Daniel's statement about his MyBook WD external drive. I would be most pleased to be made aware of any MyBook WD drive which is 2.5" big.
'unmounting' and then switch it back on again when you next want to use
it, and it will magically re-appear on the task bar :-). All my external drive cases for 3.5" disks have independent, removable power supplies, and power switches.
Ah, so you are able to switch them on and off when it pleases you? So our "perceptions" about how such devices can be switched on or off doesn't differ.
Those I have for 2.5" drives have neither separate power supply nor switch, just like USB sticks. I've never even been able to /find/ a case for 2.5" with separate PS or on/off switch.
Where does the issue of 2.5" drives come up in what Daniel wrote? -- a yer eggo i kudnt spel progrmer butt naw i ar won! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
