Device Eject not working

[rolgiati]

Since I upgraded to 1.2 I notice that Device => Eject this device no longer works reliably: The Device column in Calibre disappears, but a $ df in a console shows that the Kindle still mounted.

The Kindle umounts normally using the xfce4-mount-plugin panel plugging (v. 0.6.4)

This under SolydX, XFCE 4.10

calibre uses udisks to mount/unmount devices. Problems with unmounting will be caused by problems with the udisks install. Run calibre in a terminal as

calibre-debug -g

and you may get some helpful debugging output.

Here is the output, from plugging-in to ejecting:

Udisks eject call for: /dev/sdg1 failed:
org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Busy: One or more partitions are busy on /dev/sdg

which is strange, because nothing apart from Calibre was using /dev/sdg1.
Will ask about udisk on the SolydX forum.

Out of curiosity I have tried umounting the Kindle from the xfce4-mount-plugin panel plug-in without Ejecting the device in Calibre.

The device is umounted, as shown by $ df but remains shown as mounted in Calibre.

Trying to upload a book gives an error message "error communicating with device".

From what I read on the French SolydX forum, it might be linked to a problem with udisk2...
