Hi.
When I try to unmount USB drive I get and message that says"org.freedesktop.hal.storage.unmount-others no <-- (privilege, result)". So I just yanked the thing out, and it seems fine. What does this message mean?

Thanks,

Maybe there's another easier way but as far as I know, you have to unmount it as root.
So either open ControlCenter > Disks > Mount Devices and put /dev/sdb1 in the 'device' box and /media/disk in the 'mount point' box and click 'unmount' or open a terminal as root and

Code: Select all

umount /media/disk
