Hello:
This occurs in openSUSE 13.1 with KDE3 as default desktop. I have a Samsung external USB hard drive. When I plug it in it becomes mounted:
df -h /dev/sdd1 932G 270G 662G 29% /media/SAMSUNG
ls -l /dev/sdd1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 49 Mar 9 23:12 /dev/sdd1
The desktop user is member of group disk.
When I try to unmount the device I get:
umount /dev/sdd1 umount: /media/SAMSUNG: umount failed: Operation not permitted
Why is this and how can I fix it?
It is interesting that plugged USB flash disk also becomes mounted but I can unmount it:
df -h /dev/sdd1 7.4G 6.7G 671M 92% /media/KINGSTON
umount /dev/sdd1 ~>
Thanks,
Istvan
Are you SURE that nothing is using it at that moment? Even leaving a Dolphin file manager instance looking at the drive will prevent dismount, but also any shell script starting from that drive will be an issue. Who mounted it? You or root, or kde's auto mount service? If kde mounted it either root or kde has to unmount it, because kde hands that task off to root. Check permissions /dev/sdd1 sudo umount /dev/sdd1 My ability to make and specific recommendations is hindered by not having had kde3 running on any machine for something like 5 years now. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
