Description Ernst Bachmann 2003-11-25 17:36:11 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.93)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:          Linux

Ok, the problem is I can't unmount a filesystem cause konqueror keeps an open filehandle on it.

It happens when I do the following (not sure if all those steps are neccessary, its my usual workflow)

I mount a partiton (from shell, as its an encrypted fs, mounting using desktop icons won't work)
I start konqeror on the mountpoint (Alt-F2, /mnt/crypto, enter)
I copy some files..
I close that konqueror window again.
now unmounting fails, filesystem in use.

fuser -m /mnt/crypto then usually shows a (random) konqueror process, sometimes its another filemanager mode konqueror, sometimes its an instance I was using to browse the web with, sometimes its even a completely unused instance (when preloding was enabled)

So I have to kill that in order to unmount my disk. Its not extremly annoying, its just that I wonder why a konqueror process I'm using for webbrowsing is accessing a filesystem it definitly shouldn't.

Do you use FAM? There are many quite similar reports, see e.g.

It has nothing to do with FAM, cause I only run fam when connected to the company network, and don't start it when running my laptop standalone. Happened with both configurations.

Disabling the preloading for konqueror processes seems to help, but thats an workarround, not an bugfix.
