Please help. Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sdc USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.1/usb1/1-6) SYNCHRONIZE CACHE: OK STOP UNIT: FAILED: No such file or directory Mir I have the same external drive and this only happens in gnome if i use xfce or kde this error does not come up. I have never hurt my drive because of it. I am sure there is a nug report somewhere i am just too lazy to go looking for it, but I do know this has been brought up many times. -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- mister.s.jones <div> </div><div> </div>
