That's right, and we do the same. Unfortunately for this case, a mount operation performs an open of the block device, so it's considered "in use" and that locks the door. The device driver does not know if an application had any files open within the filesystem... It may be possible to implement something like an unlock after a period of inactivity. But all implications have to be well thought out. For now just use "eject". It unmounts, too, so it's safer anyway. -- Pete -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
