I plugged my USB drive in and viewed its contents using Nautilus. When I closed the Nautilus window, the drive remained mounted indefinitely.

Can someone remind me how to find out what's keeping it mounted?

I tried lsof, but couldn't find any reference to the usb drive at all, even when I was viewing it with Nautilus.

Sorry if it's too simplistic, but what does unplugging the USB drive do? And which distro please?


On Ubuntu Nautilus, I found that my USB camera auto-mounted and -unmounted flawlessly, plus desktop "sd0" icon popping up and disappearing.

Is there some purpose for keeping unmounted storage attached to the system?
