Hi everyone,
I'm running Suse Linux 10.0 and my desktop is KDE. I have an issue with USB disks. When I plug one in, it gets recognised and mounted, and KDE asks if I want to open it in konqueror. So far so good. However, after I've finished working with it, I can't unmount it. If I right-click on it in, and select "safely remove", I get an error which says that there's no entry for this device in fstab, and I'm not root. So I have to open a shell window, become root, and unmount it. Gnome, running on Fedora Core 4 can unmount such hotplugged disks, so it must be possible. Any idea how it can be done in Suse/KDE? Do I need any extra software or configuration? Or is this a bug that I should file?

I am also having this problem - it doesn't seem to hurt anything if I just remove it, but I would prefer to unmount it. Te exact error I get is: Error - kio_media_mounthelper (in the title bar) unmount:/media/Kingston is not in fstab (and you are not root) Please check that the disk is entered correctly Any help would be great.
