I can confirm that the problem is nothing to do with fam -- I got rid of
that some years ago because it prevented nfs automounts from ever
unmounting.

It uses it if fam is running. If not, it just uses dnotify directly.

I had this problem too! Removing fam solved it. Btw, is KDE using fam 
actually? If so, what does it?

But I think the problem, James reported, has nothing to do with fam. I have 
the same effect without fam installed on Sarge!

Hi everyone,
I'm confused by the following problem:
If I

2) Copy the data from that CD to hard disk with cp from the command line

ROM).
3) The CD is dodgy and there are i/o errors in the copy.
4) Close the konqueror window that is viewing the CD (via control-Q or
the menu).
It is then not possible to unmount or eject the CD-ROM. fuser -mav
/cdrom1 tells me that a kdeinit process still has the cd or something on
it open.
Killing that kdeinit process kills most of my konqueror filemanager
windows showing that it is konqueror and not konsole that is holding the
cd device.
If there are no i/o errors there is no problem.
I'm using KDE 3.3.2 from Sarge on x86.
Does anyone have any clues as to which component is likely to be at
fault?
Anytime this happens to me (using Sid's KDE)...
# lsof /cdrom
...says that famd is holding onto the mount point...
# /etc/init.d/fam stop
...releases it.

A bug somewhere, but I can't figure where (CD copying)

I'm using KDE 3.3.2 from Sarge on x86.

Does anyone have any clues as to which component is likely to be at
fault?
