Bug 339864 – sys-apps/eject-2.1.5-r2 with USB Flash Drive

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: CONFIRMED ---

[Description Anthony Pelaez 2010-10-05 19:37:42 UTC]

sys-apps-eject-2.1.5-r2 is installed. When starting gnome with usb flash drive, or inserting usb flash drive after gnome has started, the drive mounts just fine. Using the gnome disk mounter applet, if you click the eject <flash drive label> or in Nautilus, if you click eject the partition block is removed and it the flash drive can only be mounted again if you remove the flash drive and reinsert it. If you select eject, it will not be seen from the console, fdisk or gparted. 

Installed gnome-volume manager and the same thing happens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start gnome
2. Insert usb flash drive
3. Click Eject <flash drive label> from disk mounter applet or open Computer in Nautilus and right click in mounted flash drive and select eject.


   
Actual Results:  
The drive will unmount but it cannot be remounted unless you remove and reinsert the drive

Expected Results:  
The disk mounter applet should remain and allow you to mount the drive or the drive should be displayed in Nautilus and you should be able to right click to open it.

I removed sys-apps/eject and installed sys-apps/unieject and it works like it is supposed to.

run both apps through strace and post the logs as attachments

strace -s 4096 -o log eject /path/to/dev

`eject` merely calls ioctls on the devices.  what the kernel does with those is up to it.

also, you need to post `emerge --info` with every bug report

Created attachment 249795 [details]
Strace of eject binary command

[Comment 4 Anthony Pelaez 2010-10-06 23:31:28 UTC]

I couldn't figure out how to run the unieject command to make it umount my drive from the command line. If anyone knows, please let me know.

For now I have attached the output of strace for the 'eject' command.

Here is emerge --info.

eject forks, so you'll need to use -f with strace

unieject should be command line compatible with eject, so use the same options
