Under KDE in 10.2 I can 'safely remove' a disk by right clicking upon its icon. Is there a command line version to do the same? In any case what does it actually do? Can't I just pull the plug and walk away with it?
If you mounted it using the command line, then umount it by command line.
If mounted automatically using kde or gnome, tell kde or gnome to umount it. It should be safe to unplug directly (unless you are using nosync mode), if you wait for some indication that the disk has finished writing, but I never trust it.

Hi Carlos y feliz año a ti y a todos. No. I don't mount it at the command line. It always appears under /media/disk when I plug it in so it seems that I have no choice as to where it is mounted. I tried under yast to mount it as a name rather than a device but that didn't work. It doesn't really matter as I always seems to work by just pulling the cable. I just wantead an equivalent of what KDE does in it' 'remove safely' option just to make sure.
