[Bug 878294] Re: external USB disk freezes PC when unmounted

[Ray Juang]

I'm using an NTFS 750gb Apricorn 128-bit encrypted drive. umount works but running the script causes the system to hang.
Equivalently, using "Eject" in the Gnome desktop works, but using "Safely Remove" causes the system to freeze.
An additional item to note: the caps and scroll lock LED lights flash on my laptop after it hangs. This is consistent and happens every time (tried it 8 times already).

Title:
  external USB disk freezes PC when unmounted

Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running Ubuntu 11.10.
  Each time I unmount an external NTFS USB disk, the system gets completely frozen. No way to interact, just power off the PC.

  Don't know if it is a Nautilus or ntsf-3g issue. Unmounting the device
  with 'sudo umount <dev>' works, but I can't get it suspended.
