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?
'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. 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. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
