Well the Linux kernel already has FUSE as a module. I've seen it work
nicely with Ubuntu LTSP having the clients mount a USB stick like it
was a local device, use it, then just plug it out without the need to
unmount it at all from desktop or console. The key is create the
"virtual" filesystem in
Hi Eric. Yes, I realize that would do it, although this is exactly what I'm
trying to avoid -- logging out -- because it takes so much time, and there
must be a better way. I make sure I've closed all shells, when I encounter
this problem. I even do a "ps x" to check for remaining programs.

A little heavy handedness might be in order, and this solution is
overkill, but you might want to log out then log in again before
attempting to umount the drive. You may have a shell that has a
current working directory on the drive you are trying to umount.
Logging out will more often than not
This is a recurring problem for me. Sometimes, a usb drive refuses to be
unmounted. I would close all files on the drive and other programs I know are
accessing the drive, and I'd still get a "drive busy" message if I unmount
it, even if I type "sync" several times on the command line. So I end
man sync. it doesn't turn off the lights but it makes sure all buffer
that's supposed to be written to disk but still in memory cache
(performance reasons) are actually written to the disk. i heard of
horror stories about killing thumb drives by unplugging it but to date

It doesn't work for me. What repositories do I need to add to get the
sun JDK?
This is available onl
yes... something to do with how the host computer and the device
interacts, syncs and unsyncs on the fly. it could be implemented via
the kernel... but then if the patent is approved i don't know how
linux can implement it as a software solution. this is a quote from

Seems more like creating and manipulating a filesystem in userspace
as a kernel module?

the safety thingy is kinda annoying isn't it?

Joey,
If it's vmware server, no issues installing it. If it's vmware
workstation (which is I think what you are using) or GSX etc. it
probably won't work with Ubuntu since it's not an officially supported
host OS.
You have two options:
First Option. If you still want to install vmware on Ubuntu

the headers and the running kernel need to be the same. you need to
install linux-headers-2.6.15-28-386 al
1. Did you install the headers via apt-get (i.e. apt-get install linux-headers)?
2. Try ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux
3. What not try the VMWare Server. This is the one I use with all my Ubuntu
installations (from Breezy thru Edgy) without much problems. Free pa.
