20 Knowing you want to use Thunar, and arriving late in this thread, you may
21 happily press D if this has been discussed...

23 What happens if you issue "umount /mountpoint" from a vt, rather than clicking
24 "eject" in Thunar?
25
26 Also, hard drives attached via USB give fuzzy results at best. After years of
27 trying many different things/software in Gentoo, now I just hang a serial
28 cable out of my workstation, and an external power adapter close. STILL there
29 are times when it's not behaving properly.
