This is my first message...I hope I'm doing this right
I have an external USB drive (Maxtor Personal Storage 3200, 320 GB) which is mounted and works fine...EXCEPT that I can't "safely remove it": I right click on the icon on the desktop, I get the bouncing pointer for a couple of seconds but nothing happens and the usb icon is still there
Some info on my system:
Kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake)
Here's what I get with the command "mount":
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw)
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/volatile type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /media/hda1 type ntfs (rw,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46)
/dev/hda2 on /media/hda2 type ext3 (rw)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-386/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
/dev/sda1 on /media/E-HD 320 GB-2 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8,shor tname=lower)
And here is my fstab file:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/dev/hda2 /media/hda2 ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
Thanks guys for any help!
