If I plug in my camera (Sony DCS-P31) kudzu adds an fstab entry, then I can mount the camera in nautilus. (usbblockdev) If I unplug the camera or it runs out of battery or whatever before I've unmounted it, then kudzu removes the camera item from the fstab, but the system thinks that the camera is still mounted. But now because there is no fstab entry i can't unmount as user. Then when I go to shutdown the pc doens't get passed the unmounting stage. I can umount manually with 'umount -f /mnt/camera' as root as long as nautilus isn't running, I would of thought that the init scripts would try this if they can't unmount..
