Re: Help! Cannot connect via mass storage mode anymore
 
Excellent descriptions...glad to see someone explaining things for people that arent Linux savvy... I'll have to remember to do the same when I can.

umm, i tried all of you advice, did the ol' # sudo gainroot then # lsof | grep MyDocs

it displays nothing (as in no programs are accessing mydocs) but i still get this stupid error!!

I also found nothing with lsof, so looked at the mounts.
The debian chroot is the problem for me. The "Close Debian" icon is not working, or at least not unmounting the debian filesystems.

I fixed it by manually running /sbin/closechroot , and now can use USB mass storage again.

I have the same problem, nothing comes up with lsof. But weirdly, everytime I have this problem and I run the application manager and remove something, it seems to fix the problem and unmount properly. Weird!

Just make sure that no program is accessing your /home/user/MyDocs (shell, file manager, media player)... Then it should be possible. So If really no applications are running it should be definitely be possible to use it as mass storage device.

Another way is to use ssh.
cant use SSH as i have to transfer large video files,
but a simple reboot did the rick
thanks for the help though everyone

If the device says it cannot be connected because it says it is in use and your /home/user/MyDocs cannot be unmounted and

lsof /home/user/MyDocs

gives you nothing (if it output something, that something would need to be stopped first), you can unmout it manually in terminal with:

umount -l /home/user/MyDocs

Took me two hours to learn this the other day.

Thank you for taking the time to post this... I suspect you've just saved me hours of frustration.

Re: Help! Cannot connect via mass storage mode anymore
 
This can happen in Windows when you have many "drives" assigned to the same Drive Letter. Windows sux... this is common when you have network drives mounted after you have connected and disconnected your N900.

what to do:
- connect n900 in mass storage
- your MyDocs will not be mounted in windows, dont worry
- go to start, run, and type "diskmgmt.msc"
- find your N900 partition, right click it and choose "Change drive letter"
- select something that is free
- say thank you Carloxic ;)
