unmounting in emelFMForum: Apps Topic: unmounting in emelFM started by: humpty Posted by humpty on May 20 2006,08:04
For dsl2.4 emelfm can mount drives but cannot unmount them after (need to be superuser), is this normal ? only it works well in dsl2.1

ok, i'm bumping this one.This still does not work for the latest dsl 3.0. I'm doing from fresh installs, without any backup.tar.gz s from older versions and without any apps installed. EmelFm still won't umount for user dsl. I even tried copying buttons and filetypes from skel, no luck. And even copied the directory, no go. umount: /dev/hda1: not mounted umount: /mnt/hda1: must be superuser to umount Any ideas? Posted by kerry on June 22 2006,18:33
you can use the mount tool

i just thought that if the menu item is there, then it should work. it's not really a pain for me, but for newbies it might be. Posted by Zucca on July 06 2006,07:33
True.And I've noticed the same. Maybe there's missing 'sudo' from the unmount menu command? Posted by WDef on July 06 2006,08:32
Not on dsl so I can't check, however I was under the impression that 'mount' had the SUID bit set so that ordinary user dsl effectively had root perms when running mount. Has this changed in the releases you are using? Perhaps my memory is faulty.

User dsl can mount and unmount devices. However, if the device is mounted by root it is owned by root and therefore it must be umounted by root.

so is this a situation where user dsl is allowed to mount but not unmount ? or is user dsl using sudo for mount but not for unmount?i really don't want to tell a newbie that he must run emelfm as root for every mount or unmount. i have gotton into bags of trouble before, forgetting that emelfm is left running under root. :blush: |
