Description bluescreenavenger 2013-03-29 23:05:58 UTC
I think a good feature for when the DeviceNotifier fails to unmount a drive because it is in use, should list the procesess that are using the drive, (and perhaps resovle the process names with an application icon like ksysguard can.)

Right now, users have to guess, or use fuser.

It is my understanding that it uses the udisks backend? I don't know if udisks has this functionality though...



Reproducible: Always

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
