Can't umount SD card (famd)

2003-09-05 Thread Christophe Courtois
I can't umount a SD card from my drive, famd uses it. I don't really know what is this famd, I d'ont really understand its goal in the man page, and uninstalling it would be a bit harsh. "Sync" does not help. I haven't found anything useful on Google. I had the same problem with a CD-ROM once.
