quick browser & umount

hi all,
i have a quickbrowser pointed to / in the panel. After i browse the /media/cdrom (where, of course, the /dev/cdrom is mounted), it results impossible to umount the device. from a shell, the error is (as you can expect)

	Source code
1 2 3 4	sku@skuro:~$ umount /dev/cdrom umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy sku@skuro:~$

the only way i have to umount the cd is to kill kicker -> umount -> restart kicker

it's pretty annoying, there's a solution for this?

thank you (and please excuse me for my ugly english...)

semi-resolved

as a workaround, i am using a button to launch `dcop kicker Panel restart` that seems to work.

i hope there's a more direct solution for the problem

RE: semi-resolved

This happens because some process is monitoring a directory on the CDROM.

You could try uninstalling famd (I think the real problem is the dnotify implementation of the Linux kernel, but you can't remove that one
