 |
|
Understandably you can't unmount a 'busy' device.
But, KDE has 4 dsktops and I typically use each one
for 6 VTs, mostly with mc.
Currently 'pgrep mc' shows that I've got 16 mc running.
So with great frustration, I step manually through each dsktop
and each VT to see which one's 'got' /mnt/disk which I want
to unmount.
Nor do I find a solution in 'man ps'.
What method should I use to see which VT is using /mnt/disk ?
Also related to this frustration: under kde-3.0 my spare box
showed 'Window' on the top-menu also for VTs.
Ie. to be able to: window / <select the desktop tasks>.
When you've got no 'free screen' to use right-mouse to
<select the desktop tasks>, this top-menu: / Window is
needed.
How to get it ?
== TIA. |

fuser -m /mnt/disk # of course the "right" mount point
will give you the PID's of processes that are accessing files within
that mounted sub-tree.
With "ps -ef" you can then find the pseudo terminal (pts/??)
those processes are running in.
How you correlate that to "windows on desktops", I don't
know, but Linux (as in "kernel") doesn't know either.
It is something within your window manager, but - as I said -
I wouldn't know how to obtain that info.

I'm not familiar with mc, but have you considered "killall mc"? |

Lol. I think that's exactly what the op is trying to avoid. :)
Using fuser or lsof -n |grep $mountpoint and then killing the specific
instance of mc using the process id would be more useful.

Ali Bama try:
lsof |grep /mnt/disk

Seems, beating about a bush to me ;)

This is madness. Mc is the precursor of gnome. You are basically
running a desktop environment within a desktop environment and
they aren't compatible.
I suggest that you run mc in xterms outside of kde (if you have
to use that monstrosity at all).

try
lsof /mnt/disk
to see processes having that directory open, match the
PID to the vt |
