To do this, you must use the
umount command (without an N):
umount /media/floppy
or
umount /dev/fd0
Before unmounting any file system, make sure that no processes are using files on that
file system. You will get an error message if that??™s the case.
CHAPTER 18 Managing Files, Volumes, and Drives 384
In some rare cases, umount will not complete its task, or the error message points to a
process that has stopped. If you cannot unmount a drive and you are certain that no
processes are working on that drive, use umount -f to force the drive to unmount.
TIP
When KDE starts, it mounts any attached storage volumes and puts an icon in the
taskbar for these drives. To unmount a portable volume, click the icon and select
Safely Remove. You can also use this icon to open a Konqueror window to access the
files.
Using /etc/fstab to Automatically Mount File Systems
The default file system mount behavior is set by the FileSystem TABle, or fstab. YaST sets
this up during the initial installation. You can modify it directly in a text editor (as Root)
or use Expert Partitioner??™s partition editing tool.
