Which one is it on the lshal list you posted? I'd say it's a hal error which marks the device as ejectable while it shouldn't, but as we have noticed, there may be a problem is thunar is_ejectable(). > > Eject is not same as Unmount, you have right.

As I said, Thunar relies on hal for that. If you have one identified device which should not be ejected, for which hal doesn't try to eject it and where Thunar only asks to eject, report a bug on thunar bugzilla with all informations. In other cases, I guess it requires a hal tuning. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
