Titel: Unmounting Floppy  BeitragVerfasst am: 18.07.2006, 12:35 Uhr

I don't normally use floppy drive, but my wife does. I attempted to backup some information for her from a floppy. It mounted ok, copied fine, but absolutely refused to unmount. Had to restart desktop to get it unmounted. I tried changing permissions, but that didn't help.

If I used Krusader/Konquerer to unmount, the drive seemed to be unmounted, but putting a different floppy disk didn't result in new files. Replacing the old disk didn't help, wouldn't read that either.

Any suggestions?
Again, I almost never use floppies anymore, but would be nice to be able to do so.

If you are still in the floppy mount point /media/floppy (i.e. a file browser or shell) then you cannot umount the floppy until you leave that directory. Example:

Code:
mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
cd /media/floppy
umount /media/floppy
umount: /media/floppy: device is busy
cd
umount /media/floppy


No complaints from bash indicates a successful umount.

To see what's really mounted simply issue the mount command all by itself.

So....you must either close any applications using the mount point directory or simply leave the mount point directory. This includes any file managers or other shells. I am unsure of how KDE handles automounting of any drives so there might be something specific to KDE but the info I just posted is true of any *nix.

To add some "KDE-specific" information:

I can view the floppy by typing <media:/> in Konqueror's adress bar to get a list of medias available, select and right-click (on) the floppy icon and chose "(un-)mount" from the context menue.

To enable this behaviour, I've changed the relevant line in the </etc/fstab> to: </dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,rw,sync 0 0>.

Hope that helps ...

if this does not help, close all Konqueror sessions, go to the root-commandline. umount -l /dev/fd0 and you can remove the floppy.

The -l means lazzy umount same with eject -l /dev/fd0. This wil flush the Floppy-buffer to fd. and than umount FD.

eject can not eject a FD until it is a LS-120. it does only th flushing and unmounting.
