I recently got a shiny new toy. The Nokia N800. It is a very nice piece of hardware and Os X recognized it right away as two external harddrives. One for each SD-card. The problem is the ejecting the filesystems from finder. When you eject one, it just remounts itself back. And quite fast too.
Even if my work machine is an old and lowly (at least by Moore's Law standards), it was still fast enough to mount the Internal SD-card before it had properly dismounted the the removable one. So after playing the game for a while, I got bored and just plugged the usb-cable off. Only to find out the Os X taunting me for not properly putting away the device.
Then I finally discovered the Proper Way Of Doing Things. It is actually quite simple. When you want to disconnect the usb-cable from your Mac. You just have to:
- Fire up the Disk Utility (from Applications/Utilities folder)
- Select the filesystems you want get rid of (see the screenshot)
- And unmount them
Note, you must unmount them, if you eject them they just keep popping back.
Anyone for AppleScript?
