trying eject usb external hardrive terminal (hence thread name). (the external harddrive ntfs-3g format). terminal commands+output: 10:54{~} umount /media/cerberus umount: /media/cerberus not in fstab (and not root) 11:01{~} eject /media/cerberus/ umount: /media/cerberus not in fstab (and not root) eject: unmount of `/media/cerberus' failed 11:01{~} have no idea go here. unmounting nautilus filebrowser works fine (right-click, "unmount volume"), unmounting terminal gives fstab error. two issues going on here. first, terminal, need use sudo or root in order umount drive. second, umount , eject commands expecting device work with, i.e. /dev/sda or /dev/sdb. so, first thing in terminal, type: sudo fdisk -l ( -l lower case l, not 1 ) output give /dev of external usb hard drive, likely: /dev/sdb1. if case, type: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 unmount drive. hope helps. ...
