Tricky #Linux Question:

When you unmount a USB drive in Dolphin, it seems to remove it from the connected USB devices.

I have 2 Western Digital USB drives, one of which is mounted and in use and the other unmounted and I want to remount it.

I don't want to power cycle the wrong drive, how can I do this from the command line?

I've looked into it and tried to find solutions online but couldn't find anything satisfying so there's what I came up with:

gently pick up both drives and the one without any gyroscopic force in it is the one to power cycle.

Only works with HDDs but it's the best solution so far.
