Bug Description
I had the following drives mounted:
/media/
/media/robert/4TB LaCie - an external USB 3 drive with an NTFS
/media/robert/4TB G-Drive - an external USB 3 drive with an NTFS
/media/robert/4TB Seagate 1 - an external USB 3 drive with an NTFS file system
/media/robert/4TB Seagate 2 - an external USB 3 drive with an NTFS file system
/media/robert/4TB Seagate 3 - an external USB 3 drive with an HFS+ file system
/media/robert/4TB Seagate 5 - an external USB 3 drive with an NTFS file system
/media/robert/5TB Seagate 1 - an external USB 3 drive with an ext4 file system
Detected but not mounted were:
Win10 - a partition on my second hard drive with an NTFS file system
U MATE 14 - a partition on my second hard drive with an ext4 file system
Windows10 - a partition on my second hard drive with an NTFS file system
701 GB Volume - a partition on my second hard drive with an ext4 file system
83 GB Volume - a partition on my second hard drive with an ext4 file system
Also attached but not detected is a 6TB Seagate USB 3 drive.
The HFS+ files system was using hfs package.
I was copying files from a directory in 4TB Seagate 3 to 4TB Seagate 1 using the Terminal cp -anR command. Once all the files had been copied I intended to reformat the drive with a NTFS file system.
I was using VueScan and it began misbehaving after I had deleted and renamed some directories with CAJA. I exited VueScan and tried to restart it. The initial splash screen displayed, then the program hang. I tried it again. Same results.
I aborted the terminal copy and did a system shutdown. I saw the Ubuntu shutdown screen. I waited, and waited. I went to bed. After 8 hours the shutdown screen was still being displayed. I had to turn the power off. Then I disconnected most of the external drives. I turned power back on and rebooted.
The 6TB drive did appear and was mounted. I had to disconnect-
VueScan started properly and works fine. It had been working properly before - the error was that Caja would not show the newly scanned files that VueScan produced. After restarting Ubuntu they showed up proving that VueScan was not at fault.
Caja is complaining when I try to delete files - see attachment,
