Hi all: I am using Centos 5.1. But now I have a problem when unmount a removable usb hard disk with right click and choose unmount volume command. When I did that, system reminds me with a message like this:Cannot unmount volume "xxx", Detail: Cannot remove directory, "xxx" represents a temporary directory made when the system auto mount the disk in /media, and "xxx" is simple-chinese. But in fact, the volume has been removed because there're no files or folder in xxx. Because the file system type of the hard disk is NTFS, ? install ntfs-3g and add a script named "mount.ntfs" in /sbin, the content of the script is #!/bin/sh export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 exec /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g "$@" I googled this problem for many days and didn't find any way to solve this problem. Maybe it is a bug. I hope someone can help me. Thank you. -- Sunny Lee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thank you.You may lose data doing this but at least for NFS volumes if something is stuck I umount the file systems with the "-l -f" options. I'm not sure if it'll work for NTFS but if you really want to force unmount try umount (path to mounted file system) -l -f You may want to check to see if any files are in use on that file system first, for that I'd use lsof lsof | grep (path to mounted file system) nate

For instance, could you have forgotten that in the CTRL-ALT+F1 console, you cd'd into /media/sda1/ ??? i also second the lsof -a command. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
