GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 81079
Nautilus can not unmount NFS mounted files.
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: nautilus Severity: major Version: 1.0.6 Synopsis: Nautilus can not unmount NFS mounted files. Bugzilla-Product: nautilus Bugzilla-Component: Navigation Description: When I use the (right click)->Disks to mount an NFS volume then attempt to unmount that volume, most of the time I receive an error message stating that the device is busy. When I use fuser to inspect what process has the share open, I get nothing back. What is keeping the mount point busy so that I can not unmount? ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-05-07 15:30 ------- Unknown version 1.0.x in product nautilus. Setting version to the default, "unspecified". Reassigning to the default owner of the component, nautilus-maint@bugzilla.gnome.org.
It'd be great to know if this is an issue on GNOM2 Nautilus.
I used to almost never be able to do this in nautilus1 but it works for me most of the time now.
Howdy Luis ;-) So this happens with my firewire disk too. Not *every* time, but often enough to be annoying. WHEN it says "device is busy", one of the options is naturally that it is really busy - meaning you have a shell open or something. I dont know if we can do much about that, since only root can force-umount stuff. But the real problem here seems to be FAM - whenever I do a "lsof /mnt/fwdisk" (note, no trailing slash, otherwise it returns empty!) I get this: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME famd 626 root 26r DIR 8,2 4096 2 /mnt/fwdisk/.Trash-tigert Meaning FAM is monitoring the TRASH on that volume. Now, that would be one thing to take care of, if nautilus is about to umount a volume, it would definitely make sense to tell FAM to stop that.
