USB mobile disk safely unplug
Under Windows there is a particular feature (¨Hardware Safely Remove¨) that you can run and after that you can safely unplug the usb device. Is there something similar under Linux? (I'm using Suse 9)
Thanks for your time!!:) |
you can also right click the icon of your USB Mobile Disk and there's an option to remove.
|
I use KDE and there isn´t any USB Mobile Disk icon
|
pop open a terminal, and type
umount /dev/sda1 or whatever your flash disk is mounted as. KDE generally puts things in media:/ when it mounts them, check there too, you might be able to unmount it that way. |
I typed /dev/sda1 but my usb's red led is still on that means do not remove it...
The usb is mounted in the directory /media Everything appears there as folder. What do you mean "you might be able to unmount it that way"?? In which way? What can I do the folder? :confused: :confused: |
Not media/
media\ but, what's the name of the folder in which the drive is mounted. like /media/sda1? |
the drive is mounted in this folder:
file:/media/usb-d6b48bb6d5e70f:0:0:0p1 |
