First you need to determine where the New Volume is mounted, to do this, press Ctrl-Alt-t to open a terminal, then at the prompt type the following command:
the result should look simialr to this:
Code:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 9.5G 5.0G 4.1G 55% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev 992M 4.0K 992M 1% /dev
tmpfs 201M 1.2M 200M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 1002M 504K 1001M 1% /run/shm
none 100M 32K 100M 1% /run/user
/dev/sda3 218G 30G 178G 15% /home
/dev/sdc1 7.5G 785M 6.8G 11% /media/cariboo/31EA-EBC5
In the example above, my usb thumb drive (/dev/sdc1) is mounted to /media/cariboo/31EA-EBC5. Check the screenshot to see how it shows in the file manager. To umount the drive, in the same terminal type:
Code:
sudo umount /dev/sdXX
where /dev/sdXX = your device, that you determined by running the first command. The sudo command elevates your user privileges to the same as the root (administrator in Windows speak) to allow you to unmount your device.
