[opensuse] Unmounting usb/samba disks
*/*/Suse 11.2 x64/KDE 4.4.2 (but has been happening since installing - fresh - 11.2) Same thing happening on a totally different (11.2/x86) PC as well. Both these used to work fine when on 11.1. Have asked this question before, and thought it had been fixed with an update, but have since been putting up with it.... If I plug a usb disk (of any sort) in, I get the usual notification, and can load it by selecting options (from Device Notifier in the KDE taskbar). So far, so good. Then, when I want to unload it, I go to device notifier, click the 'unmount/eject' option (after making DAMN SURE there is nothing holding files open on the disk - can close EVERY open app/utility) and I get a message saying "Could not unmount the device. One or more files on this device are open within an application". Now, I KNOW someone is going to come back and say there is something using it... NO, there isn't. I can then open a terminal, and just as a standard user, umount the drive with no error messages. Anybody else having this problem/know of a solution?? /*/* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have this same problem on the 32-bit 11.2. Nothing is using it. I can umount it on the command line. But the device notifier claimed it is busy. As I can umount it, it is NOT busy from the OS's point of view. It is kde that seems to have stale state info on the device. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
