Hi.

I have an Apacer USB which automounts on plugin.

Yesterday when I was copying from the drive, the process froze.
I wanted to umount the drive but cant.

umount /media/mp3a
yields:
umount: /media/mp3a: device is busy
umount: /media/mp3a: device is busy

I ran lsof | grep mp3a:
lsof | grep mp3a
nautilus 2531 luke 24r REG 8,0 42659930 1552 /media/mp3a/foogie.mp3
killed that process but still no joy.

I ran fuser -k -v
No joy.

Then I just unplugged the disk.
Is there any way I can force a umount (umount -f doesn't work) or otherwise unmount the drive without rebooting.

uname -vor
2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 #1 Sat Oct 14 16:59:26 EDT 2006 GNU/Linux

Thanks for any help.

Kind regards.
Luke Vanderfluit.
