Description Stefan Becker 2006-08-22 05:24:56 UTC
Description of problem:
My FC5 installation just got updated to the KDE 3.5.4 packages released last
week. Now end users can't unmount hotpluggable storage media they mounted
themselves.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdelibs-3.5.4-0.1.fc5
kdebase-3.5.4-0.2.fc5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in USB storage device (I tried ext3 & vfat formatted ones)
2. Press OK on the mount dialog or double-click the storage media icon
3. Use "Safely remove" on the mounted storage media icon
  
Actual results:
Media stays mounted

Expected results:
Media should be unmounted

Additional info:
hal & selinux packages weren't updated so the changes in KDE 3.5.4 cause or have
unconvered the problem.

Only root can unmount those devices, because /etc/fstab doesn't get updated when
a hotpluggable storage media is connected. That might be the root problem and
therefore a hal problem if it is responsible to update /etc/fstab. I browsed
through the hal storage media scripts and it seems it doesn't update /etc/fstab
anywhere. The old(?) tools updfstab or fstab-sync do no longer exist in FC5.
