That fits with my experience. Also, if you panic and umount it from c/l you tend to upset it. Closing all, as you say, usually does it. One variatioon on your experience is that it may open and immediately close before you could possibly remove the disk. It then automatically mounts the disk again, and you are back at square one until you've found what's bugging it. I just make sure everything's closed, now. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
