USB drive does not appear on desktop

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • After using the "Safely Remove Desktop" option to eject a USB drive, a popup window appears a short time later with the message "Unable to stop drive, Timeout was reached".
  • After plugging the USB drive back into the system, the current GNOME user session must be restarted in order to see the USB drive.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6
  • gvfs-1.36.2-1.el7.x86_64
  • gnome-shell-3.28.3-8.el7_6.x86_64
