I told you that some devices display this message. It happens to me *always* with my mobile phone. It does not happen with standard usb flash disk, though. > step 3. > # mount (...) Which means it has been umounted. I get the same behaviour than you, but only when I attach a special device (GNOME recognizes the mobile phone as some kind of music stuff). Try this: 1/ Plug on the device 2/ Type mount (to get the device listed) 3/ Type "umount /media/video" (adjust the command to point the right path) 4/ Type "mount" With these steps I get no pop-up or warning messages and the device gets umounted normally.
