This is likely fixed in gnome 2.8.0. The whole way the device icons on the desktop is handled has changed. |
Description of Problem: If the floppy drive is defined in /etc/fstab as follows /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 (which is the default for the RedHat installation) a DOS floppy that is mounted cannot be unmounted, because the Nautilus floppy icon on the desktop has it in use. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount floppy with command mount /mnt/floppy Nautilus puts an icon of a floppy on the desktop 2. Try to unmount the floppy with command umount /mnt/floppy You get the error message umount: /mnt/floppy: device is busy Actual Results: A DOS floppy cannot be unmounted (without using a bizarre trick, described below) Expected Results: You should be able to mount and unmount floppies as needed Additional Information: If you drag the floppy icon into the trash, the icon reappears on the desktop, but now the device is no longer in use If the file system is described as "vfat" rather than "auto", this problem does not occur.
