I have a machine with three fixed disks:
hda = Windows XP (40 gb)
hdb = (see below) (60 gb)
hdc = ext2 partition for data storage (30 gb)
hdb is the disk I'm having serious problems with. Before, the disk had several
partitions on it. I am not sure how many primary or secondary partitions there

I have an old laptop I wanted to try to get to work.
It came with Win 98, which I removed and replaced with
XP. However, the machine has these specs:
PMMX 166 MHz, 64 MB RAM, 2 gig HDD
and the HDD was too small to install SP2 onto the
machine. As a result, I am convinced that Linux is the

OK, the lazy unmount via 'umount -l' worked. I was
able to unmount and re-mount two different discs. No
problems reported. I take it this is something that
should not be done under normal circumstances? Is
there any issue with using lazy unmount (I assume it's

I have been using Debian for about 2 months now after having used Mandrakelinux 10.1 for a much longer time. In Mandrake, the DVD/CD-writer will automount and auto-unmount whenever you insert or eject DVD/CD media. It has other issues, however.
