There's an 'eject' button next to it in the file manager, which more or less does this (it actually does something a bit stronger - it removes the device entirely, after you click it /dev/sda won't exist any more). Some apps that commonly handle removable media also let you 'eject' - Rhythmbox and Shotwell, for example. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
