Bug#679303: Can't unmount USB HDD as regular user with LXDE/pcmanfm/lxpolkit
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I can't unmount my 60 GB USB HDD drive with 'pcmanfm. I suspect it has to do
with lxpolkit based on the comments in bug pcmanfm #674828.
The installation is wheezy alpha-1, with LXDE on Asus eeepc 1001PX.
What I did:
Login as a regular user,
First I attached and de-attached 2 GB JetFlash USB stick without problem
(see kernel.log below) with pcmanfm. The log line with FAT indicates
that the partion is mounted OK on my system 'carbon'.
Then I attached a removable USB 60 GB LaCie HDD (Samsung disk inside) to
the laptop. I tried to unmount, as above, with LXDE 'pcmanfm' and Right-Click,
and 'Eject Removable Media'. This time the drive was not unmounted which was
evident by all files in the main pane in 'pcmanfm'.
Then I unplugged the cable for the USB drive...(not recommended!).
I restarted 'carbon' and plugged in the drive again. Was this repeatable?
Unfortunately it behaved as before and refused to unmount with 'pcmanfm',
as seen in the second part of the kern.log below. However, as 'root' I managed
to mount and unmount as # mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 and # unmount /dev/sdb1.
Aftera a while the drive gave up and is not recognised as /dev/sdb1 anymore.
