Say what application is using the device

[Vadim Peretokin]

It would be great if ejecter could tell you which application is using the device, so you can shut down that app.

Don't know if this is possible as Ejecter does not handle directly the unmount process, it just calls the unmount method of the Gio library which also cares of showing notifications and message dialogs.

Triaging.

Hi, you can get process name and PID by execute lsof | grep <mount_point>.

Trough some Linux API you can find the same result of lsof, but I don't know if exist Vala bindings.

There is another command useful: fuser

fuser -c <device_name> List processes ID

fuser -c -i -k <device_name> Kill and ask processes using this mounted file system

Regards.

Fix committed in karmic-gdu branch. Now Ejecter tells which application is keeping the device busy (as new Nautilus does) thanks to Gtk.MountOperation.
