On 10.5.8, there is an annoying "feature" related to this. SMB sharing results in a disk being mounted that will not unmount until you go into preferences and turn it off. Apparently, if a microsoft windows machine is sharing your drive, then it is "locked", and will not unmount when you log out, when you ask the drive to dismount, etc. Even Time Machine is smart enough to say "Stopping backup to allow ejection of destination drive", but file sharing isn't. -- Political and economic blog of a strict constitutionalist http://StrictConstitution.BlogSpot.com This message may have been spell checked by a laptop kitten. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
