Shell Script to Unmount Multiple Hard Drives?

[eric_92]

Hi,

I would like to setup a custom menu shortcut to unmount the external USB Drive. I need that to deconnect the drive in order to use it on another computer that cannot access it through the network.

To do that I’m going to : Settings / Interface / Skin setup / Customize Home Menu.
There I would like to define a custom action, but I didn’t find anything that is working after trying the following :

• RunScript(“umount ‘/media/MyDrive’”)
• RunScript(“/bin/bash -c umount /media/MyDrive”)
• RunScript(“udisks --unmount /media/MyDrive”)
• System.Exec(“umount ‘/media/MyDrive’”) => calling shortcut twice crashes OSMC.

I’m not a Linux user and I’m only using a Vero 4K and a Rii i25 remote (having a keyboard).
In case it is mandatory to create a python file, can someone advise a simple way to do that? Is there a Kodi AddOn to create and edit a python file from Kodi’s UI / File Manager?

This question is also related to this subject :

Safely Remove Hardware

Whats the keymap shortcut to map a key to safely remove disk? Also is it safe to remove hard drive when it is in sleep mode without using safely remove. Would clicking safely remove while sleeping make it wake the hard drive up again. I noticed that unplugging drive while sleeping brought up the chkdisk message when plugged into PC.

Thanks in advance for any help.
