Hi all;

I have 2 devices that I use often.

1. a 1Gig memory stick via a usb emory stick reader
2. a 40Gig Firelight USB2 exterenal hard drive

both devices are immediately recognized and have no problems with usage. However much of the time I cannot unmount the device. I get a message that says the device is busy. I have no windows open which are "in" the device directory.

Any ideas?


Probably "/usr/libexec/gam_server" has grabbed a directory on the device. Run the command "lsof" to see what process has which files open.


I did "chmod 000 /usr/libexec/gam_server" to make it go away.

Regards,

John Wendel
