Hi Martin, Sorry, didn't reply to this earlier. Got buried somewhere and stupid Kmail marked in 'read' while syncing with my IMAP folders. Anyways!

If that command fails, please try Yes, I can unmount the device manually. pumount fails. # first I ripped out the device $ mount [snip] /dev/sda1 on /mnt/backup type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=diwaker) # so the entry is still there, while it shouldn't have been $ pumount /dev/sda1 Error: could not determine real path of the device: No such file or directory # of course, since /dev/sda1 doesn't exist anymore $ pumount -d /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1 cannot be resolved to a proper device node Error: could not determine real path of the device: No such file or directory Like I said, this only happens with devices which have entries in /etc/fstab. Devices that are completely automagically handled by pmount don't give this problem. Hope that helps, Diwaker -- Diwaker Gupta Graduate Student, Computer Sc. and Engg.
