Description jobezone 2003-02-22 05:10:50 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When I want to dismount a mounted floppy, _and_ i
have a nautilus window at / , it gives the error
"umount /floppy: device is busy". I understand
why: Nautilus is reading the contents of the
folder /floppy to show them bellow the folder
icon(I guess?).

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Mount floppy disk
2. open nautilus in parent folder of floppy directory
3. try to dismount the floppy

How it could be worked out:

Quicky: Make so Nautilus never previews the number
of files for the mount points in fstab which are
not automatically mounted on boot(which leaves
floppy, cdrom, partitions, zip, etc.).

Real fix: After doing the previous one, make it
easy for a user to open the preferences of this
behavior to configure it. Like an extra tab in
Nautilus?

Sounds similar to bug 102760, just to confirm, if you close the "/"
nautilus window, you can unmount, right?
Comment 2 jobezone 2003-02-22 21:02:51 UTC 
yes
Comment 3 David Kennedy 2003-03-15 03:57:32 UTC 
It's a dupe then - thanks for taking the time to respond.

Is it the same bug that cause the floppy to misfunction when I eject
the disk while browsing it with nautilus ?
I then have the following error message : 
ls /mnt/floppy/
ls: /mnt/floppy/: Input/output error

I can't read any floppy disk and have to reboot.
Comment 5 jobezone 2003-04-08 17:12:49 UTC 
no, that's because you must unmount any disk before ejecting it .



Right click on the floppy disk and choose umount,

or in a terminal do

umount /mnt/floppy
