safely remove drive fails on iriver Lplayer

Hi Ohad,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Installed this kernel version:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc2-karmic/

Exact same error message as before.

(I hope this is what you meant, let me know if anything else needs testing)

Just installed Lucid. This bug still happens but with a slightly different error message:

Unable to stop drive

Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sdb
USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.4/usb1/1-6)
SYNCHRONIZE CACHE: synchronize cache(10): Fixed format, current; Sense key: Medium Error
 Additional sense: Write error - auto reallocation failed
  Info fld=0x0 [0]
FAILED: No such file or directory
(Continuing despite SYNCHRONIZE CACHE failure.)
STOP UNIT: FAILED: No such file or directory

Same problem with an external USB hard drive: when you try to remove it, you can see the same message, with ubuntu 10.04, nautilus and kernel 2.6.32-24-generic-pae

External USB hard drive gives the error as mentioned above (Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device yada yada..)

If any further info is needed, I am happy to run whatever tests are needed.

System Ubuntu 10.04, all up to date. 2.6.32-24-generic kernel (but error was here with previous kernel too)

Think this bug is a general USB device issue and perhaps needs to be looked at as such, rather than iRiver LPlayer specific.

I get the error with the USB hard drive mentioned earlier, as well as USB memory sticks and other USB devices.
