Hi I have an external USB disk and a USB stick which behave differently under KDE when selecting "Safely Remove" They both have 3 partitions /boot, /, SWAP (With Fedora installs on as it happens) [root@naxos ~]# ls -l /dev/sdc* brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 32 2007-06-29 11:34 /dev/sdc brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 33 2007-06-29 11:34 /dev/sdc1 brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 34 2007-06-29 11:34 /dev/sdc2 brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 35 2007-06-29 11:34 /dev/sdc3 sdc1 and sdc2 are both mounted as per their "labels" (if inserted separately) When Safely Remove is selected 1. The USB disk umount the 2 partitions but leaves the icons on the dektop and leaves /dev/sdc, /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2 2. The USB memory stick umount the 2 partitions removes the icons from the desktop and only leaves /dev/sdc naxos ~ 1005# ls -l /dev/sdc* brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 32 2007-06-29 10:42 /dev/sdc Thus the USB memory stick has to be removed and re-inserted to regain access. For the USB disk you can just click on the icon 1. Why are the two "identical" devices treated differently? 2. Is there an easy method of changing all USB sticks to act the same as the USB Disk? Its just annoying ! Surely you don't have to dig into hal/udev to fix this Regards john -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
