I can hardly fault you for your attitude. However there are known safe
ways to test if the problem is fixed. Insert a CF card into your card
reader while famd is running, do something with the CF card, and then
unmount it from the Gnome desktop. Type "df" in the command line to see
if the CF card has been unmounted (the correct behavior is that you
should not see your CF card listed in the df output). Then, type
# invoke-rc.d fam stop
# umount /mnt/compactflash (replace with your CF card mount directory
if it is still mounted)
Verify with df that your CF card is indeed no longer mounted, and then
you can remove the card with no danger whatsoever. If you are still
unsure, you can remove the fam package, shutdown the computer, and then
remove the CF card; this should be as safe as you can get.
Of course, I would understand if you just do not wish to touch fam with
a 10-foot pole for the rest of your life. But having confirmation from
the original bug submitter is very important for our quality-assurance
work, so I would really appreciate it if you could try this one.
Thanks,
