Mikkel:
A couple of questions - are you unmounting the drive before
unplugging it?
No. I considered doing that, but then thought, 'USB is hot-pluggable, so
that should be auto-magic.'
But, seems like it's not (hence the vestige device).
Also. what does /proc/bus/usb/devices have to say
about this devie?
< T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
< D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
< P: Vendor=05dc ProdID=0001 Rev= 0.01
< S: Manufacturer=Lexar Media
< S: Product=CF READER ?
< S: SerialNumber=
< C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA
< I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usb-storage
< E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
< E: Ad=03(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
The Mfgr. and Product are correct.
Now, if you unplug the device with unmounting it, the system should
complain but handle it.
I'm assuming that you meant to type "... withOUT unmounting it".
There is no complaint (no window pops up). Btw, I should mention that
both of the icons disappear.
I tried the 'diff ...' line again - no difference.
It would also help to have the log messages from when you plug
in/remove the device.
