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
The drive itself has no on/off switch. I'd have to take unplug the cable under my table....
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.
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 :-)
Where does the issue of 2.5" drives come up in what Daniel wrote?
In fact the same happens with the 2.5" USB-drives. They also disappear. But in this case I care less, because I plug them at the front side of the computer and unplug and put them away anyway after use. -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
