            Bug ID: 351313
           Summary: Akonadi processes prevent removable drive from being
                    safely removed.
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 1.13.0
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kdebugs at toeai.com

Akonadi processes prevent you from safely removing a USB stick.
Observed on Kubuntu 14.04,  64-bit, KDE 4.14.2, workspace 4.11.11.

Selecting 'general' as the component because it seems to affect more than one
thing.  I know for a fact that it persists even while either
akonadi_baloo_indexer or akonadi_sendlater_agent is the only remaining
akonadi-related process I haven't terminated, but there's like 16
akonadi-related processes and it seems like I have to terminate every last one
before I can remove my drive.

FWIW, I have Desktop Search disabled, and my thumb drive automatically adds
itself to the list "Do not search in these locations" when it's plugged in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
>From a fresh boot up:
0. Confirm there are no akonadi processes running.
1. Insert thumb drive containing a .eml file. [tested FS was NTFS]
2. Mount it and open dolphin.  (default mount point is
/media/<username>/<volume label>/ )
3. Right-click .eml file, select Open With > KMail view.
4. Close KMail when it opens, and close Dolphin.

Actual Results:  
There are still a plethora of akonadi-related processes running.  Clicking the
button "Click to safely remove this device." tells me, "Could not unmount the
following device  <volume label> One or more files on this device are open
within an application."

Expected Results:  
It shouldn't mess with my drive.

Terminating all 16 akonadi-related processes or logging out is the only way to
safely remove my USB stick.

(I AM my own PIM; I hate Akonadi and have no use for it.  If i can't get rid of
it, it should at least stay the heck out of my way.)
