I fail to see any reason or purpose for a "umount" function.
Its the Eject that is needed.
Eject under Windows 7 and Gnome Nautilus works. Unmount does not really do anything but flush to disk and close files. The unit still thinks its connected when you use unmount.
Yep, just talked to our USB guys, and eject and umount are two separate operations. It seems that Nautilus: 'Eject' == umount, eject Windows: 'Safely Remove == umount, eject KDE: 'Safely Remove' == umount
Finally a developer who understands! You have no Idea how long I've been shopping this problem around Will. The above table almost matches my experience: However Windows Safely Remove on later platforms (win 7) really is simply unmount. (no Eject) There is a system option in windows 7 to mount in "Performance mode" or "Quick Removal mode". In QR, (the default), the tray icon only does a Unmount. But Eject is still available in Win Explorer. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprogeneral/thread/784e9c99... What's the chance of having The Device Notifier support an Eject and also Dolphin? -- _____________________________________ At one time I had a Real Sig.
