usb drive - should I 'eject' them (e.g. udisks --detach)

  • Hi
    With the USB Backup plugin, I was wondering if I had something to do after the backup is done (for sure, the volume is unmounted at the end of the script). Actually, and more generally speaking, is there the need to somehow 'eject' the drive and/or turn it off?


    I saw on stackexchange for instace that people advise to use commands like
    udisks --detach /dev/sdf
    or
    udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdf
    Is that needed (knowing that I'm using an external USB mechanical drive)?
    Thank you!
