Bug or feature ?

[mlehto]

Question is about hard disk in wb.

From shell assign hd4: dismount

Then I accidently clicked my hd4 (rmb)

I got guru.

I can duplicate this, every time

System: Peg2/G4, 1 gm mem, radeon 9250.

Mor eexactly.

When I push RMB over unmounted hd icon, guru appear. I think, that it is popup-menu. After guru popup-menu doesnt work any more.

Hello,
I don't have the problem with my AmigaOne-XE. What version of ContextMenus you are using?

Hi,

I have 53.1 (30.11.09)

Amiupdate doesnt find anything newer.

I think it is newest (?)

I made clean install with updates recently, after I changed hd, psu, graphics card and memory module to my peg2.

Have to say that now this works.

Yes, that's the latest version.

Good to hear that the problem is gone.

Don't use "Assign DISMOUNT" unless you know what you are doing. It isn't safe.

This is from "SYS:Documentation/C/Assign.doc":

The DISMOUNT option used with a device name can be used to dismount
the device and all volumes that belong to the device. This feature
was added in version 51.14 and requires dos.library V51.30+, if
one of this requirements is missing the DISMOUNT option for devices
will work like the DISMOUNT option for volumes (see below).
Note: It depends on the filesystem/handler if dismounting a device
is supported or not. When its not supported, the device and the
volumes which belong to it are disconnected from the device and
volumes lists.

Warning: The DISMOUNT option (called REMOVE in V1.3) used with a volume
name disconnects the volume from the list of mounted volumes. It does
not free up resources; it merely removes the name from the list. There
is no way to cancel a DISMOUNT used with a volume name without
rebooting. DISMOUNT on volume names is primarily for use during
software development. Careless use of this option may cause a software
failure.

For a safe way to dismount a filesystem that frees all it's associated resources you should use the Dismount command without its FORCE switch. The FORCE switch of C:Dismount makes it act in the same way that "Assign DISMOUNT" does.

Some filesystems may not support the ACTION_SHUTDOWN packet used for closing a filesystem safely. In such cases there is no safe way to close them.

The Dismount command is documented in "SYS:Documentation/C/Dismount.doc".

Thanks

Ok, deckaration of bug or feature was correct then.

Above I said that system works. I meant generally.

I think there will be more bug or feature reports
