It looks like a bug, and I reported it during the 'great mail server outage' but it appears that that post never got through. So ... I have a Sony Clie PEG-425T and used to mount its memory stick 'by hand' from the command line as /dev/sda1. With the automated facility, under Gnome I see a 'removable' icon on the desktop (with the rather inappropriate appearance of a hard disk!) but: i. the icon appears to be stuck there forever and never goes away, even when the Clie is taken out of the cradle and the PC rebooted without it; ii. the 'Unmount Volume' command has no effect. iii. the entry in /etc/fstab looks like none /mnt/removable supermount dev=/dev/sda1,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 This looks OK, but doesn't explain the unmounting not happening: I have to issue umount -a /dev/sda1 from the command line to actually do it.
