Nautilus (Files) app shows drive that was pulled out without unmount

[Aleksandr]

I mount a flash drive onto my Ubuntu 18.04.5 instance.

Started writing data to it. While data is still being written to the flash drive I pulled out the flash drive.

Looking at the Nautilus (Files) window, I still see the drive. Running findmnt -S <drive/dir>, produces some output. None is produced when offically unmounted.

When I plug the flash drive back in, a second instance of the drive appears.

When drive is pulled, but Nautilus displays the drive, clicking on it displays "Folder Empty" (or something close).

When drive is put back in and the second instance appears, clicking either drive displays contents of drive.

This might be caused by a reference being held by the program writing data to the drive.

Could you do

$ gio mount -o

then reproduce the issue and share the log (indicating at which points you connect or disconnect the drive)

[Aleksandr (golo314)]

Could you tell me where to find the generated logs?

I see terminal output running

gio mount -0

but don't know where the generated log is being saved.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

it's supposed to be a 'o' the lettre and not '0' the number, and it should displays events as they happen on the command line where your started gio

[Aleksandr (golo314)]

Here are the requested logs when running:

gio mount -o

I have added comments to the text file to where drive was removed and re-inserted.

Thanks for the log, from the backend it looks like the backend correct detects it being removed
