[wellylug] Fam annoyance

[Sam Cannell]

Hey folks,

Does anyone have any idea to tell fam not to monitor a particular
mountpoint?  Whenever I mount a floppy and access it through Nautilus,
fam starts keeping an eye on it.  When I try to unmount it, it says
the device is busy:

sam at arilou:~$ mount /media/floppy
sam at arilou:~$ umount /media/floppy
umount: /media/floppy: device is busy
umount: /media/floppy: device is busy
sam at arilou:~$ sudo fuser /media/floppy
/media/floppy:        3431
sam at arilou:~$ ps ax | grep 3431
 3431 ?        Ss      0:00 /usr/sbin/famd -T 0
sam at arilou:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/fam stop
Stopping file alteration monitor: FAM.
sam at arilou:~$ umount /media/floppy
sam at arilou:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/fam start
Starting file alteration monitor: FAM.
sam at arilou:~$

I've had a look at the famd and fam.conf manpages, but all I can see
is a -l option to tell it to ignore remote NFS servers, but nothing
similar for removable media.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,
Sam
