the kernel spams: 'VFS: busy inodes on changed media.' What did I do: Inserted a rewriteable cd into cdwriter. opened k3b (version 0.12.8) opened konquerer to see the contents of the cd. Decided I could erase cd. formatted cd with k3b wrote image to cd. removed the cd. Somewhere between these operations the spam started Solution: umount /dev/hdc (cdrom device). It seems that this doesn't happen. I don't know which program this action should trigger. extra info: Konquerer knows that cd is away, because media:/ doesn't show a cdrom.

I recommend filing this at bugs.kde.org, as they're much more likely to be able to fix it.
I tried to summit, but my version of kde (3.4.3) is too old. I'm not likely to upgrade soon. I did check the bugs and I didn't find my bug (checked all bugs on VFS) Someone should try to repeat my steps with a newer version.
