umount does work. In fact, there is no error message at all, but the flash drive still keeps blinking -- and it doesnt seem safe to remove the drive yet. I'm running SuSE 9.1, which mounts it under /media As root umount /media/usb* works /etc/mtab shows a ubsfs mounted filesystem in /proc/sys/usb umount /proc/sys/usb works as well It's just that the Flash drive still keeps blinking. I would suppose that that is the default behaviour of a usb drive -- it probably needs to be "stopped" at a lower hardware level, rather than just unmounting. How do you guys handle usb drives in Linux? (One way I see is to "remove" the usb hardware -- at the sw level -- haven't tried that though) -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
