Bug 494850

Hi,
I have an external USB disk that I mount via device notifier to save data and then unmount to avoid problems in case of power failure, repeating this operation many times a day.

To keep the disk visible to the system I set a udev rule that prevents the related USB port from turning off, setting UDISKS_CAN_POWER_OFF=0 when the disk is connected.

This worked up to version 6.1 of plasma.

Now when I unmount the disk, device notifier reports the message: "this device can now be safely removed" and it stays like this forever, so the only way to unblock the situation is to unplug the USB cable and reconnect it to the disk (which I would prefer to avoid so as not to damage the connectors over time).

I wanted to ask if it is possible to insert a timeout (ex: 5 seconds), after which the device notifier re-runs the check to verify the presence of a connected disk and then allows it to be remounted (without disconnecting the USB cable from the disk); or alternatively restore the previous functionality from the device notifier and send this message only as a disappearing popup notification.

Thank you,
Antonio
