I went down and bought a Dazzle CF-SD-blah-blah card reader. This is the 6 in 1 model. I managed to get it mounted and see the files on the CF card. Now my problem is I can't get it unmounted. Here's the fstab config.... /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.o4XOFJX1US6 So I do a umount /media/sdb1 and get umount: /media/sdb1: device is busy No it's not. I closed everything having to do with it, pulled out the CF card and tried it again. No luck. Any thoughts other than rebooting? Also, I'd like to mount it as user....matter of fact, I'd like the whole 'media' directory as user. How would I do that?

Linux is lying???? Yes, something is open in a /media/sdb1/.... directory/sub-directory. Retrace the steps you took to get the pictures from the card.

lsof /media/sdb1 iirc that should show you all processes attached to that directory. You can then kill the PID. Usually it is something to do with konqueror holding on to the directory :/ Hope this helps.

In my experience, you do indeed have to close the konqueror instance with which you accessed the drive/card before it will allow you to unmount. Merely changing in konqueror to look at a different dir is not enough. This seems to me to be a little bug in Konqueror. -- Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rydd yn Gymraeg
