It's random and sometimes suddenly goes away. I've tried it with a variety of USB sticks.
I've had "mount point busy" come from both an open shell and a file manager that's sitting on the mount point before. It can also block us=

un-mounting
as well (although I think root umount force un-mounts?).
To my knowledge there is nothing at that mount point. I can connect 5 usb sticks and they will all give the same error.

Do you have access to another comp to test one of the sticks, so you have=20 a =E2=80=98known good?=E2=80=99 You could then try re-installing whatever = provides UDisks2. =20 After that file a bug with PCLOS so they can file an upstream bug.

My thinking exactly.
I do have several computers in me wee lab. The sticks are all fine, mount and umount on all other computers, including another pclos 64 with the same kernels. At first I thought it was a kernel bug, wrong.
I can only guess I'm installing something that messes it up.
I reinstalled the OS into the test computer and incrementally installing packages until I find the culprit.
I've noticed some odd behavior with some trinity packages such as trinity-tdeio-umountwrapper, it removes the "safely remove" from all menus related to removable drives.
I think I'm installing an incompatible packages. I've done it before. Honestly I'm my own worst enemy.
Thanks for the UDisks2 tip. I'll check into that.

You cpuld also do "# dmesg -w" and observe :-)
