I'm running FC3 with a KDE desktop. Recently, I've been having problems unmounting floppy disks. Regardless of whether I use the right mouse button on the "Floppy" icon to unmount the disk or use the command "umount /media/floppy" in a terminal window I get the message: "/media/floppy device is busy" twice. (Why twice anyway?) I've tried using the command "fuser /dev/fd0" to locate processes accessing the disk and this gives me a pid -- but when I try killing the process a new pid replaces it. The only way out seems to be rebooting... which just doesn't seem right!
Is this a bug or something "hanging on" in my system? Does anyone have a suggestion for troubleshooting this further?
Would you mind to tell us which PID you are killing? I mean which respawning service it is which's PID you kill.

Alexander, I have been having a similar problem with CDs as well Recently I used lsof and found 4 processes of gamin running on /media/cdrom that I killed and was then able to unmount/eject the CD.
