[opensuse] Safely remove USB
Hi, When I right-click -> safely remove USB disk on my 10.2 KDE desktop, while the drive is still open somewhere in a konsole or Krusader, it just ignores me. It it just me or shouldn't at least popup a dialog saying the drive is till busy (maybe providing a list of apps that are holding it)?

That would be useful. How would it be done? Does the kernel (or something else) track which apps are being used by various hardware items? -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Kai, lsof is nice, but if you want to kill all the apps using your thumbdrive, check out "fuser -m -k </mnt-point>" as well. Note that this is much more dangerous, so treat with care.

I hope I am not violating any of your rights. If I was not the intended recipient of this email, please do not send it to me. past that, using KDE, right click on the desktop object representing your thumb-drive. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
