I normally would allow Windows to do its scan / repair of the drive.

However a few Kobo releases ago some of the Linux components of the firmware were updated and since then I've had no reocurrences of the issue.
What do you mean by the "dirty" bit i set on the drive?

The strange thing is that Wondows doesn't find any problem with my Clara after the scan. That is, nothing to repair, which I find strange. And it at least always get connected and appears in the Explorer tree menu and in Calibre.

On my old dead Glo HD it sometimes didn't even get connected and didn't appear in the Explorer tree menu or Calibre. Had do unplug/plug it several times to get it working. That's why I thought it was something wrong with the usb connector on the reader, getting old etc
