Version: 3.5.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, compiled sources) Compiler: Target: x86_64-suse-linux OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.16.13-4-default Hi! IMHO this is not a very helpful message (even if it's true) "fuser -mv <device>" could give a hint which program is using the device something like fuser -mv /dev/hdc USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/hdc: kdesvn 22635 ..c.. bash this would allow the user to better understand which app has to be closed. it could be even a GUI with the apps to close and eventually asking for root privileges if its a different user.
Fuse is not vanilla KDE but something from SuSE.
HI! First its not fuse (which is something else) but fuser and has nothing to do with SuSE! second it's konqueror coming up with the message mentioned above trying to unmount or eject a removable media. IMHO it's konqueror which should handle the situation when the user wants to unmount a removable media in the navigation panel - storage media.
SVN commit 601028 by fabo: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-commits&m=116240804413595&w=2 * Improve error messages for HAL/fstab unmount failures. Include a list of processes using the device in them (if there are any).
great
the messages are really very comprehensive now !! thanks
