I have spent several hours grovelling through SUSE 10's udev, hotplug, hwup, and hald-subfs-mount code. As usual, I'm amazed by the skill of SUSE's shell scripters. (I like to think I'm pretty handy with a shell script myself, but it seems I learn something new every time I dig into a large SUSE script.) As usual, I'm also left scratching my head wondering why the system architecture in so convoluted. I'm curious how Novell will solve the unmounting problem long term. I couldn't see an immediately obvious solution given the current design. That said, here's a workaround for Gnome at least: 1) Download the pmount rpm* from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME/update_for_10.0/applications 2) Install it as root: sudo rpm -ivh pmount*.rpm 3) Make pumount setuid**: sudo u+s /usr/bin/pumount Notes: ------ * These RPMs are not supported. Use them at your own risk. ** This is a security risk. It is completely required, but probably not a good idea for anything other than a personal computer. -- Stuart Jansen e-mail/jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] google talk: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :0 # copy & paste for your convenience * ^From:.*sjansen@ /dev/null # /ignore [EMAIL PROTECTED]
