I really need to jump in, here & find out... How do you get the card reader to umount? Mine always reports itself as busy. That goes for smbfs shares or whatever else I mount. Only one thing works: shutdown, remove the card reader, reboot.

CH,
Sounds like you haven't been away from Windows very long, new to Linux? ;o) No... not really... I'm very new to SuSE, though. <G> I used to use Mandrake.
A few ways to accomplish this, the shell/konsole, right click on the icon, choose unmount. If you get a busy message on the device, then open a shell, type: lsof /dev/sdxx (your device ID)
I am familiar w/the right-clicked icon & 'unmount' but I was unaware of the command you specify. Thanks. :-)
That will tell you what process is tying up the device and at that point, just type: kill <pid number> Then you should be able to easily unmount the device! Reboots are for wimps & windows users, make the break, step out of line! ;o)
I'm also familiar w/the 'ps aux' so that one can determine what process one wants to kill. ...And you're correct. Reboots *are* for those you outline. <LOL> Thanks for the info! :-) ...CH
