USB stick ejecting is a bit cumbersome

[S.t.e.P.]

Hi,
after unmounting my USB stick via the eject icon in the MX-panel, it disappears in there but in Thunar the stick still appears to be mounted (pic 1).
After I click the eject icon in Thunar, it gets ejected but then a message (pic 2) appears and that message doesn't disappear by itself. It only disapperas if I click on it.
Maybe one of our fabulous Devs can fix this undramatic issue?

so you see that the icons are greyed out (pic 1). they aren't mounted, so you can remove them.

the unmounter tool looks at the device udevadm output rather than the partition output to check to see whether to power-off the device.

Code: Select all

udevadm info --query=property /dev/sdb

might shed a clue as to why the power-off isn't being issued.

sorry dolphin_oracle, I don't get it: I've compared the output of
udevadm info --query=property /dev/sdb
with 1. the stick mounted, 2. unmounted and 3. the stick ejected in Thunar - the output is exactly the same.
Other sticks I have get unmounted AND ejected in Thunar by the unmount tool from the MX panel; I would feel more reassured if this Sandisk stick also gets ejected. Is the "problem" maybe that this specific USB stick isn't listed in some Hardware list so Thunar can't do it's thing and eject it?

Well I wanted to see the output so I could compare my test.

there could be something wrong with it though. I have many similar sandisk sticks and they are OK.

really, if the device is unmounted, the "power-off" function doesn't do much on a usb device. if the file system is unmounted, its safe to remove.

I've checked the stick for errors so I think there is nothing wrong with it, but I guess we leave at that now.
Anyways, thank you for answering to me.
