With MHarris tip of using lsof, I found a .Trash file that was their. I removed it and was still unable to umount the parttion. Went to init 1 and was able to umount it. Mounted all the partitions again, and a different partiton that had a .trash is doing the same thing. I will delete that .trash go to init 1 and run the same test again. I am using nautilus-1.0.6-15, think this has nothing to do with the kernel :-).
Strange, I reproduced the device busy on a different partiton. Again I found a .Trash with lsof. But this time after removing the directory I was able to umount the partiton. I will try the same test again. Mount all the partitions then try umounting them.
If I create the .Trash on /dev/hbd9 which is mounted as /mnt/hdb9 and create the .Tash with Nautilus I then can't unmount it. I created a .Trash in /mnt/hdb3 and did an rm -r on the dir and am again not able to umount the partiton. Hope this will be useful to someone. Thanks, Ted
Yes this looks like nautilus...
However it would be interesting to find out why not everybody+dog sees this...
Probably FAM. We also need to be sure right-clicking a removable media icon on the desktop and choosing unmount works.
This could potentially be fixed in nautilus 2.0.5-4, which would mean this is a dup of bug 70667.
Ted, can you try the fam and nautlius RPMS that shipped in 8.0 to see if that fixes the problem?
Newer nautilus seems to have resolved this issue, when testing gnome2 from ximian this problem has never shown up with them. Nautilus 2.0.X and up. Also have 8.0 running and not seen it as well. Thanks, Ted
Thanks for staying on top of this, would seem to make sense to close as upstream :-)
Yes, seems to be fixed in latest (RHL 9 and upstream)
This issue can be reproduced in RHEL3 gold by mounting a USB floppy, deleting a file from it using nautilus, emptying the trash, and then attempting to umount the usb floppy. At this point it is still saying that the device is busy. An `lsof /mnt/floppy` implicates fam as holding onto a /mnt/floppy/.Trash directory and if you kill the pid, you can then unmount the drive. Perhaps there is a USB edge case which was not resolved when this was closed or perhaps this is a separate bug? Reopening...please advise.
This seems to have reappeared in FC2 as well, it is espescially touchy with samba mounts, killing fam does fix it.
I've been reproducing this on RHEL3-U2 with a regular floppy disk. Once there is a .Trash-root directory on the floppy's fs it gets picked up automatically on mount by nautilus/gnome-vfs/fam for monitoring, and so can only be unmounted using nautilus, since /bin/mount doesn't know to cancel the monitor on /mnt/floppy/.Trash-root. This is especially aggravating if you mount it from the commandline and then cannot unmount from the commandline. It has something to do with the virtual trash URI in gnome-vfs/eel2 as used by nautilus. I'm having a hard time tracking down the source of the problem, but it's got something todo with the virtual trash folder and use of dnotify by fam for monitors. As a (probably annoying) note, the problem disappears for me if I rebuild fam without dnotify.
dnotify kernel API requires to open() the file to monitor. This is a very bad kernel API side-effect. This can be worked around at the eel/gnome-vfs level by not using the FAM API, or could be fixed by using a better kernel API like inotify and the gamin library replacing fam. Getting the right kernel API is the ultimate fix, this is a work in progress at this point. Daniel
gamin now obsolete fam in Rawhide and the upcoming Fedora Core 3. I believe that the current fixes at the gamin level and nautilus fixes bugs of this kind. Daniel
Is this resolved in RHEL4? Please reclose issue if it is.
This should be closed in RHEL4 for the same reason, you should double-check the RHEL4 betas and reopen this bug if for some reason it doesn't work. But this should work. Daniel
I just replicated this on FC2. Is there a way this wouldn't be fixed in fc2 but still somehow be fixed in RHEL4? Perhaps we should re- open.
FC2 does not have gamin. FC3 will, Rawhide does. That's normal. http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/ Daniel
