Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.92) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux Would it be possible to change Konqueror (file browser mode) to disable the 'fam' interface for directories that are no longer being display. The motivation for this is removable media - 'umount' commands fail because the mount point is busied by fam on behalf on konqueror. The work-around is to 'bounce' konqueror then retry the 'umount' command - all very messy.
actually it's not supposed to watch directories not visible, so there must be a bug. Did you call fuser on the device to find out what process is blocking the device?
1) The problem is visible on my USB flash drive, mount point /mnt/flash 2) If I use konqueror to manipulate the files on the flash drive, fam locks the mount point 3) Instead of 'fuser' I use 'lsof | grep flash' 4) Just tried a test: a) when konqueror is positioned at the mount point, the output from lsof shows fam accessing the mount point and all first level subdirectories b) when I move konqueror to my home directory, lsof reports that fam is only accessing the mount point - the first level subdirectories are no longer being monitored So I guess it is a bug after all.
