Safely Remove USB device
I have a Verbatim USB (linux supported) drive, SuSE recognizes the device and i can transfer files to it. When i right click and select safely remove i get this error:
Can anyone tell me how to put this in fstab, or at least point me in the right direction. I've never done anything in fstab so i definitely want some good input rather than just trying something. Thanks!Code:umount: /media/STORE_N_GO is not in the fstab (and you are not root) Please check that the device is plugged correctly.

USB devices are now mounted by udev so they are not present in fstab. There was a bit of a mistake in Suse 10 I believe that included the wrong script type for ejectable media. You can do two things - one
will remove it safely from the command line. The other way is there are a few scripts for safe removals on kde-look.org. Just have a look in the servicemenus area. Good stuff there.Code:eject /media/STORE_N_GO

Thanks for the info! There has been some funny stuff regarding removable media and such on my box. I look forward to the next version of SuSE.
