Unmounting a hard disk partition is impossible when you once went to browse it with konqueror; You have to totally exit X (e.g. by logout) to avoid receiving "device is busy"! I have not such problem in RedHat. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

say you are trying to umount the cdrom (usually /dev/hdc) check the following lsof /dev/hdc I suspect the kdeinit is holding the device open I have seen this a few times from suse it stems from the attempt to make device mounting user friendly. if kdeinit is the process keeping the drive mounted kill the pid listed from lsof (if not installed use yast and install it lsof will save you a bunch of headaches. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Killing "kdeinit" works, but, isn't there a better way (e.g. disabling kdeinit)? I have to frequently mount and unmount partitions; It is annoying! Thank you for your help, Bahram Alinezhad, Rudehen, Tehran, Iran. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
