Did you try it? Doing "safely remove" (for example in Dolphin) also removes the corresponding device node. eject -t <the device node not present any more> for me, removes the necessity to pull an re-insert the thumb drive to re-create the device node and to be able to access it again. That's the whole point in issuing eject -t. -- Regards mks _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
