Bug 177822

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
After using Konqueror, my vfat files system becomes read only. Details are below.

I have an internal hard drive, /dev/hdb1, mounted at /local at startup. 

Output from the mount command immediately after startup: (Logged in as root.)

[root@localhost program files]# mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda2 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /local type vfat (rw) ---THIS IS THE DRIVE 
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
automount(pid2268) on /misc type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2268,minproto=2,maxproto=4)
automount(pid2294) on /net type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2294,minproto=2,maxproto=4)

Initially, the drive is read/write. See test output below:

[root@localhost ~]# cd "/local/program files"
[root@localhost program files]# ls
MUSICMATCH
[root@localhost program files]# touch test
[root@localhost program files]# ls
MUSICMATCH  test
[root@localhost program files]# rm test
rm: remove regular empty file `test'? y

Next, I launch Konqueror by clicking the "File Manager - Super User Mode" icon. I browse to the /local directory then close the window.

After that, the drive is read only, see test output below:

[root@localhost program files]# touch test
touch: cannot touch `test': Read-only file system

Additionally, I can not unmount the drive. See message below:

[root@localhost program files]# umount /dev/hdb1
umount: /local: device is busy
umount: /local: device is busy
[root@localhost program files]#

Also note, it still appears that the drive is rw:

[root@localhost program files]# mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda2 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /local type vfat (rw) ---THIS DID NOT CHANGE
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
automount(pid2268) on /misc type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2268,minproto=2,maxproto=4)
automount(pid2294) on /net type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2294,minproto=2,maxproto=4)

At this point, I have to log out of KDE and then bring it back up. I can then unmount the drive and mount it again as read/write.

Thanks.
