So it works fine for root user... O.K., Let me check with my USB flash drive. After I plugg it: *** sm01(a)stt008:~$ mount | grep fat /dev/sdc1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1000) *** I try to umount it: *** sm01(a)stt008:~$ umount /media/disk *** And now I verify it has been "really" umounted: *** sm01(a)stt008:~$ mount | grep fat *** Seems to be working here for my plain user. You can check 2 more things: - Permissions of the mounted device ("mount" will tell) - Does this happen whith any kind of media you connect in USB ports (USB flash drives, media devices, etc...) or just happens with a concrete device? >> - "lsof" lists the opened files, you could also check that... > im not using the drives through any applications other then terminal. > and before unmounting i exit the directory or close the terminal window. There can be operations left in background that may prevent umounting the device... "lsof" will tell.

So it works fine for root user... For a regular user, you need to be in the plugdev group to mount and unmount. I believe the mounting is done via dbus, which checks for this group (or any other group you have configured it for). So, first check if your user is a member of the plugdev group. Sjoerd

All users should be added to plugdev, netdev, and optionally powerdev, in /etc/groups. Any way of automating this in Debian?" i look around in /etc/ and find there are 2 group files. mobildebian:/etc# nano group group group- im guessing i need to remove group [ which is empty ] and rename group- to be the group file. correct? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
