Subject: Ejecting a USB drive using Cygwin (sync)?
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 11:14:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1516706057.3270332.1245015392.5FE803A3@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
I'm looking for a command, which would allow me from a shell script to prepare the removal of a USB device (stick, external hard drive etc.). With other words, after issuing the command, I should be able to physically remove the USB device.
Can the `sync` command be used, for instance
sync -f /cygdrive/e
assuming that the USB device is on drive E:? The man page of *sync* is a bit vague in this respect. Or is there another Cygwin command which can be used for this purpose?
Ronald
