I'm at my machine now and can report as follows: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Mounting a USB stick manually by running: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
$ pmount /dev/sda1 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
gives me this mounted device: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
/dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type vfat |
| 20 |
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=441,umask=077,fmask=0177,dmask=0077,iocharset=iso8859-1) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
which I *cannot* unmount using Konqueror. Selecting 'safely remove' |
| 23 |
does not do anything (and I can't see any messages in the logs on this |
| 24 |
version of Konqueror). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Mounting the device using Konqueror allows me to unmount it both using |
| 27 |
the Konqueror GUI and manually by issuing pumount /dev/sda1. |
| 28 |
|

PS. I have not set up any fancy USB rules for this drive. |
