From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060210 Fedora/1.5.0.1-3 Firefox/1.5.0.1 Description of problem: Unlike other devices, when a floppy is unmounted its mount point in /media is not removed. This seems to cause problems for both KDE and GNOME regarding floppy mounting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.5.7-0.cvs20060213.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using a file manager (Konqueror or Nautilus) mount a floppy 2. Note creation of mount point in /media 3. Unmount floppy in file manager Actual Results: Mount point remains after floppy is unmounted Expected Results: Mount point is removed Additional info: Additional attempts to mount floppy results in build up of mount points. Further, Konqueror never offers an unumount option for the floppy.
Does 'gnome-umount --block --no-ui --device /dev/fd0' do the right thing?
Yes. 'gnome-umount --block --no-ui --device /dev/fd0' unmounts it and removes the mount point in /media.
Right.. we need a small patch for gnome-vfs to do the right thing. Shouldn't be terribly difficult, we just need gnome-vfs to use gnome-mount when the GnomeVFSDrive is known by hal but the GnomeVFSVolume isn't. I don't know how the KDE bits work, someone needs to open a separate bug for these bits as I'm reassigning this bug to gnome-vfs2.
I've posted a patch to upstream here http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-vfs-list/2006-February/msg00037.html
Patch mentioned in comment 4 is now upstream. Will be included in new gnome-vfs2 packages sometime next week.
*** Bug 182693 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The patch mentioned in comment #4 is in gnome-vfs2-2.13.92, so I assume this is fixed.
Yes, indeed, it looks that this works now as expected.
