Neil. when you talk about below a mount point to you mean in a sub directory.
A specific subdirectory. If the device is mounted at /mnt/device, then anything looking at /mnt/device/test/another/folder is making the device appear busy. Remember that with symlinks, it isn't necessarily clear where you are actually located - if you had ~/mydevice symlinked to /mnt/device/somefolder then having a bash prompt located in ~/mydevice would also make the device appear busy. Use pwd -P In this example, ~/documents/gnucash contains a symbolic link called gnucash that points to /opt/neil/gnucash: neil@xxxxxxxx:~/documents/gnucash/gnucash$ pwd -P /opt/neil/gnucash neil@xxxxxxxx:~/documents/gnucash/gnucash$ pwd -L /home/neil/documents/gnucash/gnucash Symbolic links show up in the ls -l listing like this: neil@xxxxxxxx:~/documents/gnucash$ ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 neil neil 18 Jul 23 17:33 gnucash -> /opt/neil/gnucash/ -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
