iPhone with ifuse locks up thunar[Solved]

[jserink]

Hi All:

Running xfce, plug in iPhone and it shows up on Thunar but won't work...not a problem.
pen a console as myself, run this: ifuse /mnt/iPhone

Works a treat.

Finished with copying phots, as root I do this:
umount /mnt/iPhone.

Here is where the fun begins....
When I unplug iphone, that's it for thunar, its locked up.
I kill it and it will never start again.

I need to log in and our of X to have access to thunar again.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Cheers,
john

Use `gvfs-mount --unmount` instead of `umount` because Thunar uses gvfs. There is also `udisksctl unmount` that uses UDisks because gvfs uses UDisks, but try the gvfs-mount first. I'm saying this second option as a backup only.

Hi ssuominen:

That wasn't quite the solution but it got me looking.

the gvfs-mount didn't work because the iphone did not mount with that. I've had problems with that so I use ifuse.
jserink@jserinki7 ~/qemu/vde $ gvfs-mount -l

jserink@jserinki7 ~/qemu/vde $ gvfs-mount -u /mnt/iPhone
Error finding enclosing mount: Containing mount does not exist

so I did this aafter some hunting around:
jserink@jserinki7 ~/qemu/vde $ fusermount -u /mnt/iPhone


I also right clicked in thunar on "john's Iphone" and selected unmount.

unpkugged the cable.....
Thunar still works.

Plugged it back in, John's iPhone showed up, unplugged, John'd iPhone disappeared.


Ok, that got me all thinking...."maybe ifuse is no longer required?".

Plugged in the iPhone, John's iPhone shows up in thunar. Right click and selected mount....
WHOLLY COW! I can browse the file system on the phone and copy photos out! That never used to work.
Right clicked, selected unmount and it all still works.

Ok, looks like ifuse is not required any longer.

this is great!

Another reason why I love Gentoo, you can get answers to fix stuff.

Cheers and thanx.
