[Digikam-devel] digikam and can't umount

[Achim Bohnet]

Hi Kévin, Jean-Rémy,  Digikam devels

with digikam from stable one can't umount an usbdisk
camera while digikam is running.

While fuser is empty, lsof found the 'bad' guys:

allee[0] ~ # lsof | grep /media/sdb1
digikam   21856         ttt   17r      REG       8,17  1550872       2822 /media/sdb1/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV04450.MPG
digikam   21856         ttt   18r      REG       8,17  1287563       2824 /media/sdb1/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV04451.MPG

digikam   21856         ttt   20r      REG       8,17   238461       2830 /media/sdb1/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV04453.MPG
digikam   21856         ttt   21r      REG       8,17   108814       2832 /media/sdb1/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV04454.MPG
allee[0] ~ # fuser /media/sdb1
/media/sdb1:
allee[1] ~ # lsof | grep /media/sdb1
digikam   21856         ttt   17r      REG       8,17  1550872       2822 /media/sdb1/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV04450.MPG
digikam   21856         ttt   18r      REG       8,17  1287563       2824 /media/sdb1/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV04451.MPG
digikam   21856         ttt   19r      REG       8,17  3262195       2827 /media/sdb1/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV04452.MPG
digikam   21856         ttt   20r      REG       8,17   238461       2830 /media/sdb1/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV04453.MPG
digikam   21856         ttt   21r      REG       8,17   108814       2832 /media/sdb1/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV04454.MPG


So my guess it that the create-thumbnail-for-movies part of digikam is
is locking the media even when the download dialog is closed.  Tom,
Jokele Gilles et al does this make sense?


Kévin, Jean-Rémy,

if you can point us to any code example show to best add
and umount menu item to every mounted camera this
would be great.  (anything less brute force than
kprocess "df | -q grep /media/whatever"  && addmenuitem kprocess\
"pumount /media/whatever" ;)

Thx,
Achim
