Theoretically, simply unmounting /media/usb* should work, but be aware, that syncing can take some time (up to 3 or minutes with a large [i.e. > 128Mb] USB 1.0 disk) and mount may not be acting in a synchronous manner.

[PLUG] Simple project ideas
Hi, I am looking for simple "implementation" projects. Basically I want to get ppl. in my college involved. The best way to spread the Linux is to make a group and ask them to implement something in Linux. I have come up with a few ideas. 1. Customised Bootable CD. 2. Building a Cluster. 3. Internal Chat Client. (with Jabber?) 4. Streaming Audio over LAN. 5. Internal Mail System. 6. Remote access over Internet(of logins i.e. home dirs). These may seem damn simple, but the idea is to start small and then move up the value chain. Keep in mind the cool factor. These are not meant to be BE projects or anything like that, the target is mostly se and te ppl. Any more ideas/resources?

Remote access over Internet(of logins i.e. home > dirs). These are v. good ideas. I would also suggest that you talk to the management and implement something of what they want. e.g. if some office people are using ms office and ms windows to keep data, then maybe 5% computers can be converted into linux + OO. This is cos, I would also like to see an interest building in linux at the top mgmt level. When they start seeing the cost savings, I think they would support officially. Once they start using officially, then you (the students) will get to know the real time problems of end users. And I think that is imp. in the long run for both college as well as the students. In fact with the official college switch, you can create a case study. You can approach small industries/businesses and help them make switch. Ofcourse these small businesses should pay you (students) for the knowledge and the help for making the switch. 'Cos I know a company of maybe 20 people who use linux, since they cant afford ms windows. (i mean they can. but why should they pay when they get it free?) The students can put these case studies (of college as well and industry) on their resumes, which will be helpful in the long run. ___ALL-NEW Yahoo!
