Hi all:
    I am using Centos 5.1. But now I have a problem when unmount a removable usb hard disk with right click and choose unmount volume command. When I did that, system reminds me with a message like this:Cannot unmount volume "xxx", Detail: Cannot remove directory, "xxx" represents a temporary directory made when the system auto mount the disk in /media, and "xxx" is simple-chinese. But in fact, the volume has been removed because there're no files or folder in xxx.
    Because the file system type of the hard disk is NTFS, £É install ntfs-3g and add a script named "mount.ntfs" in /sbin, the content of the script is
#!/bin/sh
export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
exec /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g "$@"
    I googled this problem for many days and didn't find any way to solve this problem. Maybe it is a bug. I hope someone can help me. Thank you.

You may want to double check that all of your CTRL-ALT+Fx virtual consoles, screen sessions, and Konqueror windows do not have a folder open on the external usb drive.  For instance, could you have forgotten that in the CTRL-ALT+F1 console, you cd'd into /media/sda1/ ??? 

i also second the lsof -a command.
