Safely remove a USB drive
Hi there,
I have a external USB hard drive that I use for storage and often connect USB flash drives to the RPi, but I can't figure out how to eject them safely. Googling found results that said "go to System > File Manager, then select the drive, open the context menu and choose 'remove safely'". But the drive doesn't show up in the file manager. The only place I know to find it is by browsing the Root filesystem /media/xxxxxx and this is treated as a normal folder, there is no remove option. Can anyone enlighten me as to what I'm missing so that I can eject drives safely? Much thanks! |

Re: Safely remove a USB drive
I just ssh in and run "sudo sync" and wait for the command to finish. You can also run "sudo umount /media/device" with device being the USB drive.

RE: Safely remove a USB drive
You should be able to in XBMC, Videos or Music to right click on the drive and just select "Remove Safely". I think it has to be added as a source in File Manager, but once added the same right click applies.
