unmounting D2 in linux

[connexion2000]

Hi!
I use Cowon D2 with archlinux. After connecting it to the PC arch discovers it as f.e. pendrive. But the problem is with unmounting. I use KDE 3.5.7, in media:/ I right-click on it's memory, then I click to safely remove. But an error appears telling that unmounting was successful, but ejecting have failed.
What might be wrong?

Which error ? If you just uploaded a lot of files in the async default mode unmounting takes a looot of time and KDE shows a timeout error ( telling you that some root background process are still using the device ( but they're just syncing ) ). When the error shows up the unmounting is still going on, so wait a few more minutes and within the 5 ( max ) next minutes the device icon will turn to unmounted.

edit :
But an error appears telling that unmounting was successful, but ejecting have failed.
Ah.. hmm.. sorry [biggrin] . Yea same error here, KDE doesn't know yet that USB drives cannot be ejected.

Since I use the command line anyway to perform file copies, I just do this:

sync && umount /media/COWON && umount /media/usbdisk

This works on Debian etch.

sync && umount /media/COWON && umount /media/usbdisk


Is /media/usbdisk your SD card? I have an SDHC card that I'm having trouble mounting (because it's seen as a "generic" device, not a block device)... how did you mount it? And what type of card do you have? Is it SDHC or just SD?

Thanks,

Heh. In order: Yes. pmount mounted it for me; it shows up as a vfat filesystem on sdb or sdb1 (can't remember at the moment). A SanDisk 4.0 GB SDHC class 2 card.
