RH9 won't upload recent photos from Olympus camera
My camera when mounted as /dev/sda1 will only upload photos I thought I'd removed from the camera and not upload the most recent photos. What is going on? Is the computer searching old files and resurrecting them instead or is the camera hiding these old photos on its memory card and I don't know that they are hidden there? Is it poltergist's or maybe collusion between the RH 9 and Olympus daemons?
i dont' know if your doing so already, but it sounds like your not unmounting the device after taking the pictures off the first time...if you unplug it without umounting first, then it will show the original pictures even if they dont' exist on the camera...
[root@localhost 100olymp]# umount /dev/sda1
umount: /mnt/camera: device is busy
Does the above mean that some other file is open, and if so, how do I find and close that file?

Perhaps you are cd'ed into /mnt/camera.
Try doing a cd / then do the umount again.

In RH8, it is /usr/sbin/lsof
But looking at your post where you wrote
[root@localhost 100olymp]# umount /dev/sda1
it appears that you are cd'ed into a directory '100olymp' . This looks like a subdirectory on the memory card. I really believe that you cannot umount the device until you cd out of the card. I have an olympus camera also, so I have seen the directory names you see.
Again, try to cd / or cd /tmp to get off of the mounted card, then umount again.
I am having problems, even when I change the directory. I will still get the device is busy error, even when I couldn't find a way to unmount and I would just turn the camera off. It does not happen all the time and I can't figure out what I do to make it happen.
The output of lsof is as such. How do I stop these (like processes?) and how would they all show up under that same root , /mnt/camera?
