Hi Thierry,
a few questions to gather further info.
1) do you have policykit installed? I guess so, if you say some partitions
on external drives can be mounted.
Is installed
2) Does the disk have a valid partition
in sdg1?
Yes. ext4, mbr
3) is the disk in /etc/fstab?
No
4) what command do you use to mount the partition from
CLI?
mount /dev/sdx /<mount directory>. As root. sdx is usually sdg or sdi,
depending on
other connected drives.
5) if you retry from Konqueror, do you have a failure
again?
I don't see what you want me to do. The error message appears when I plug
in /
switch on the external drive. If/when it works the drive gets mounted
on /media/<user>/<drive> and konqueror opens a window on its content. If/when
it fails nothing is mounted and I can't do it from Konqueror (or I don't know
I can :).
6) what does "fdisk -l /dev/sdg" or
"gdisk -l /dev/sdg" prints?
root@junior:/home/thierry# fdisk -l /dev/sdg

Note that after running fdisk -l nothing happens, while after running gdisk
the drive got mounted!
7) what happens if you try as root instead of normal
user?
It found the drive OK, but did not open Konqueror, instead asked what to do
(attachment).
Additionally, do you have d-feet installed on your
computer? That could
help in troubleshooting since I see in your screenshot the error is
reported by udisks2 dbus call.
I did not, I have now.
Cheers
Michele
Also, I've noticed that "Safely remove" as user causes unmounting and
immediate re-mounting, "unmount" correctly unmounts.
As root both work as expected.
Thanks,
Thierry
