Package: fam
Version: 2.7.0-5
Severity: normal
I don't know what famd is or is supposed to do, but whenever I mount a
firewire disk I find myself unable to unmount it because famd is
keeping it busy. The copy of famd is being started, apparently
automatically, on behalf of a Gnome-using user who knows nothing about
it either.
This seems to be ill-mannered. As neither I nor the other user did
anything to start famd when the disk was mounted it should not be
necessary for either of us to kill it in order to unmount the disk.

Version: 2.7.0-7
The dnotify patch in 2.7.0-6sarge1 apparently fixed the bug, and 2.7.0-7
(on which all current fam packages are based) also includes the same
patch. Therefore I am closing this report.
