"safely remove"-ing a drive on an internal usb connection leaves it inaccessible

[steubens]

Binary package hint: udisks

if i "safely remove drive" the internal card reader (happens a lot by accident when trying to eject!) it remains inaccessible until reset

i drilled down to ID_DRIVE_DETACHABLE and can add it myself, i don't know of a general solution or if there is one; but it would be nice to have! i'm guessing that the internal hub that isn't connected to user visible ports would be the widest net you could cast in quirking this (ie. all things on a given device on hub x = not detachable)

here's all the info i could think of gathering about the device in question:

leaving a note for myself that webcams are usually attached to usb internally as well
