The drive itself has no on/off switch. I'd have to take unplug the cable under my table....
True. My "problem" is especially with that MyBook, because that one is (was) always plugged on the back of the computer under the table, but as I use it as a backup drive, I want it to be unmounted when not backing up. This way - I think - I am also sure that nothing happens to it accidentally.
Now I must climb under the table to unplug/plug, instead of just clicking.
Well, better for my health, I guess - OpenSuse gives me some more body movement :-)
Crawling under tables can be risky for older adults, if not most adults. Backside USB ports can be made easier to use with a USB extension cable kept plugged into the back, and plugging the storage device into the other end kept in a more accessible location. This is not to suggest what worked in 42.3 shouldn't still work in supported releases. Regressions are not a lot of fun. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
