Hi, Even though I'm running on rawhide, this has bit me several times in the past, and although I have a workaround, most users can't or don't have the experience to use it. [rms@roque ~]$ umount /media/floppy/ umount: /media/floppy: device is busy umount: /media/floppy: device is busy [root@roque ~]# lsof | grep floppy gam_serve 3467 rms 86r DIR 2,0 7168 1 /media/floppy gam_serve 3467 rms 87r DIR 2,0 7168 1 /media/floppy gam_serve 3467 rms 90r DIR 2,0 7168 1 /media/floppy My only chance is to do something like: [rms@roque ~]$ killall -9 gam_server ; umount /media/floppy/ But this may need to be repeated if umount wasn't fast enough... A typical user will be astonished while the file manager complains about being unable to unmount the floppy with that message. Is it possible to force gam_server to behave, or is there _anything_ that could be wrong with my setup that would cause gam_server to never unhold /media/floppy?
