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??
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.
