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 '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 :-).
External 2.5 disks do not have any power supplies or power switches. Plus, the device is really *gone*. Also for the kernel. It no longer shows up in /proc/partitions. I find that extremely annoying, too.
(Also, have you checked the settings you have in Settings>System Settings>Removal Storage>Removal Devices ?)
There's no setting there that would allow you to change what happens when unmounting a removable device..... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
