try umount -r -f /media/floppy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Evans" To: "Alexander Klayman" Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 11:55 PM Subject: OFFLIST Re: [SLE] unmounting a floppy (moronic newbie question)

Alexander,

Thank you for trying.

...

make sure you have no shells in the /media/floppy or its subfolders, or any gui explorers or browsers in any of those directories before you umount it

I made sure. Nothing. Zero.

For good measure, I closed everything. Just now I again closed Mozilla and the konsole, and tried u(n)mounting the floppy via the icon on the KDE desktop. Didn't work: "device busy".
