Hi All,
I use three USB stick at one time. They get
mounted by order that they are inserted. Dismounting
them can be fun with Thunar 0.8.0. Is there a way that
the Thunar folks can come up with a work around for
when mtab and fstab disagree?
Many thanks,

When unmounting a USB stick (not mounted by Thunar),
I get:
Failed to unmount "TRIPSTICK".
umount: /mnt/MyCDs is not mounted (according to mtab).
Looking at /etc/mtab
#grep -i trip /etc/mtab
/dev/sde1 /mnt/TripStick vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,uid=500,gid=100 0 0
Which means that it really is mounted.
and,
as user:
umount -v /mnt/TripStick
umount: /mnt/TripStick mount disagrees with the fstab
as root:
#umount -v /mnt/TripStick
/dev/sde1 umounted
User can not dismount from the command line, but
root can.
From /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/TripStick vfat
pamconsole,noatime,sync,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,rw,users
0 0
So, fstab (sdc1) disagrees with mtab (sde1).
P.S. all this would go away if "mount" would
respect vfat "labels"
