Boy, learning Linux is fun. Today I used (copied from) a floppy for the second time! Took me all of ten minutes with CP/M, but with Linux. . . .
mount tells me (inter alia):
/dev/fd0 on /media/floppy type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,user=peter)
Having copied from it, I no longer want it. I'm not using it (as far as I know, and I've thought about this for some time).
peter@linux:~> umount /dev/fd0
brings me the message
umount: /media/floppy: device is busy
Can I just ignore this and take the silly thing out before it fries? (I'd like to return it to its owner.)
Try this "lsof /dev/fd0". This should tell you what is keeping the disk from being unmounted. Give it a try -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
