Thread: Unmounting vs safely removing USB device


i plug mp3 player usb port of pc. when want unplug again, i'm reluctant pull out of port without unmounting or otherwise make safe remove first, , figured putting brief script on desktop double-click easier thing opening file explorer, navigating drive, , telling safely remove.

have couple of questions: unmounting device umount make safe pull out of usb port? doesn't seem have quite same effect "safely remove", maybe differences aren't important?

, if differences important, there way can achieve "safely remove" via shell script?

finally, desktop contains not script itself, shortcut script. when double-click on shortcut, asks me if want run script or edit it. there way can make go ahead , run without asking me?

i'm using default version of ubuntu 11.10.

many thanks
nm

unmounting (umount) should enough.

replace shortcut launcher runs:

code:
bash /path/to/your/script
