 |
|
A little bug is bugging me... well it's not a bug really.
"device is busy"
The following is the matter:
When I have "any" instance of konqueror running (file or web) and fam-oss is turned on, then I can't unmount any devices, as CDROMS.
Mind you, konqueror is not on the mount point at all, just idle in the home directory or on some webpage.
So, if I want to remove a cdrom I will have to close al windows of konqueror. Quite annoying. With lsof I found that fam is accessing files on the cdrom when a konq is open.
Most ideal would be to tell fam not to look at cdroms. (files are not going to change anyway, right)
Is there an elegant solution? |

This is a symptom of the kernel facility used by FAM called DNotify.
You could rebuild FAM without DNotify support, however this would
reduce performance.
If I remember correctly, GNOME and/or KDE recently made changes
so that read-only devices such as CD-ROMs would not be "fammed".
Does this problem still occur with the latest KDE (3.0.5 or 3.1.x)?
Perhaps there's a bug filed on this on the KDE Web site... |

| This actually happens with my usb hard drive too. I have to stop fam to unmount it. If anyone figures out a way to fix this I would love to know. Thanks everyone. |

And yet another bump. I also have this problem with my USB stick. Fam is driving me nuts. Why isn't there an option to tell it not to bother with files on certain filesystems??
