Bug Description

I have two IDE drives that I'm accessing through a USB caddy that I've wiped and zeroed using shred, and re-formatted to NTFS, after which I rebooted my PC.

If I insert the USB cable the drive mounts and appears in DIsks as normal. If I hit choose the "Power Off" option then Disks crashes with a Segmentation fault.

Restarting Disks shows two instances of the affected drive, one saying "No Media" in the partition image and the other containin the correct partitions. Note that the "no media" one does not show a location (such as /dev/sdb).

Restarting the computer is the only way to clear the problem up.
