Note also that I cannot unmount the device once mounted as above: $ sudo umount -a umount: /home: device is busy umount: /dev: device is busy umount: /proc/bus/usb: device is busy umount: /var/run: device is busy umount: /sys: device is busy umount: /: device is busy
As Tod Merley points out, you're trying to unmount everything here. You can either do 'umount <devicename>' or 'umount <mountpoint>' to unmount the specific fs you want. The problem you're seeing may be because something (I assume it's Gnome) keeps hold mounted filesystems it notices to put on the desktop. As they're not in fstab it wont let you unomunt them by right clicking either. The work-around is to use the lazy unmount option, -l. Definitely don't do -la, as it problem can unmount / for you. -- imalone
