The link I sent was > the closest search result about the same issue (not able to umount a > flash drive). How do you mount the flash drive? I find dolphin gives me quite different behaviours between using the Device Notifier widget, clicking a stored shortcut in dolphin's left sidebar and the old fashioned way on the command line. It's not unexpected that kded4 is the process using the mount point; the kioslaves are plugins and the worker process that uses them is a child of kded4 (and keeps the name kded4). My next step would be to record what ps says about the process before and after trying to umount it the first time. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
