buy logitech smart hub or similar device, it will allow you to use single remote for all devices and can start them in proper sequence (like: TV, then AVR, then RPi), you can also add delays between these devices if needed.
in my case single button on the remote starts the sequence which is switching on TV, AVR, RPi and then switching the pilot to mixed AVR/Kodi mode - volume buttons work for AVR, while other buttons work for Kodi, the whole startup sequence takes around 15-20 secs.
If anyone is interested, still the same issue with LibreElec 9.2. I suppose when I would format the drive to exFAT then probably would not see this issue anymore.
hah, switch on-off advice 
if there is anyone capable to investigate that issue, I'm ready to help - just let me know what logs do you need...
ok, so either I'm reporting an non-issue or nobody here is capable to help - what is the story?
Yes, ADATA SD700 512GB
I suppose I posted my problem into wrong section so I would appreciate if that can be moved/merged here.
it seems that last stable release of ntfs-3g driver was in March 2017, perhaps this is related?
but why it works fine on Intel? automatic unmount works differently on RPi and Intel?
ouch, all hw experts are on vacations?
Updated to 9.1.002, same issue - I was trying with "not clean" unmounting but also with clean unmounting as well, without the difference, the disk appears to be corrupted after unplugging from raspi (although after quick windows "repair" nothing bad is visible to data stored on that disk).
Here are the logs: http://ix.io/1rlz
I'm running 9.0.2 on two platforms: Intel Atom and RasPi 3, trying with the same USB SSD disk. No issues at all on Intel.
On RasPi each time I watch the movie, next time the disk doesn't mount, when I connect it to regular PC it shows "disk corrupted", but quick scan & fix is repairing it without loosing any data.
So I have weird procedure:
1. fix the SSD in Windows PC (just scan & repair)
2. connect it to OE on RasPi, watch the movie
3. switch off all, now the disk appears to be corrupted, so when I start OE/RasPi again, it will not see this USB SSD anymore
4. so go to step 1
What OE/RasPi logs may help to pinpoint this issue? Or maybe I missed that is is known issue?
Ok, I can confirm, RPi3B+ powered with 3A power supply can directly use (without a hub) not only 500 GB SSD but also 1.5 TB HD (WD Elements).
So for me this is perfect setup for travelling / vacations.
It might (and should) help, I have only one combination of power supply (3A) and USB cable that works with my RPi3 and 240GB SSD that I use when travelling.
Thanks, will try.
This issue might be however related not to the file itself, but the usb stick - this avi file worked fine when I powered finally the SDD disc (see the other topic). But again, the same stick worked ok on LE 9 on Intel, while failed on RPI, pretty confusing...
I changed the hub to another one powered by 3A power supply and it is working now - I expected that RPI can handle SDD without additional power (I'm using 2A for powering RPI)? Would better power supply for RPI help here?
here it is:

See above, are there any "more" debug settings?
Thanks, however the same disk works fine on LE 9 running on Intel box, so I suppose this is something specific to Raspi?
