Hi, I use at home a Gnome desktop on FreeBSD 6.3 (ports last updated before the devel/gettext update). When I plug my removable HDD (USB Maxtor, 500Go formatted with fat32 filesystem), it is auto mounted. But I can't umount my HDD, it fails with >> umount: unmout of /media/disk failed: Device busy I tried from the command line and right clicking the icon on the desktop. All applications are closed. What can I do to solve this problem? Another question about my HDD, when I shutdown my computer, my HDD is still turned on. This is not the case with Windows XP. How to turn off the HDD when I shutdown my computer? Let me know need if you need more information, Thanks in advance. Regards. -- There's this old saying: "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
