Out of the blue I started getting this error msg. Using PCLOS 64bit

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 user

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.

5 different sticks are almost guaranteed to have different mount points, so having an open shell sitting at /mnt/Lexar/mystuff wouldn’t whack the other 4. :(

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