I'm having this problem with on two machines, both SuSE 8.2. I'll put in a zip disk or a cd or a floppy, and when I'm ready to unmount it, sometimes it won't let me. It gives me this error;
Could not unmount device. The reported error was: umount: /media/cdrom: device is busy
I look in the process table and can't find anything related to the device in question, I try browsing to different folders to make sure it doesn't still think I'm looking at the mounted drive. I've also tried just waiting a while to see if the system figures it out on it's own. When this happens, the only way to get the disc out is to restart.
If you were accessing the drive with konq, you need to look for a kinit process that was initiated when you accessed the drive and kill it. This is common. A solution would be to use krusader or fr or mc or command-line to access the cd/floppy/zip. When you leave the device, the device is released. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
