Adrian Fogge Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 You can not remove the disk because it is in use. First, you need to quit Azureus and any other applications that may be pointing to your external hard disk, including if you have Finder pointing at it. After that, if you can not eject, restart the computer and you should be able to eject. Finder will not let you eject a disk that is flagged as in use.

Adrian Fogge Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 ah. here you go. sudo mv Lacie\ hdd /Users/[your_username]/lacie_backup That will move it over to your home directory and free up the mount point.
