Subject: Re: port-i386/19611 - amd(8) does not manage well removable media
Date: Tue, 06 Sep 2005 15:20:39 +0200

 Two comments:
 
 (1) The PR should be assigned to 'bin', not 'port-i386'.
 
 (2) The PR is really against eject(1) which unmounts removable media if 
 it was mounted before ejecting - something that amd does not like when 
 it owns the mount.
 
 IMHO, the proper fix would be: Teach eject(1) to check if the mount in 
 question is administrated by amd(8). If yes, amq -u the mount, and if 
 that doesn't work because of open files then do not eject, and error 
 out. A tool for listing who has files open below a directory would be 
 nice to have in the NetBSD distribution (lsof?).
 
 There is an 'am-eject' script in the am-utils distribution but that is 
 horribly broken, and has it backwards because it wraps eject(1).
