Target volume not unmounting

[msbc]

I'm not sure when this started happening but my target volumes are no longer unmounting at the end of a scheduled smart update. SD mounts the volume fine and the copy is ok, but does not unmount it. This did use to work.

Leopard 10.5.8 and SD! 2.6.1

When did it work previously? With 2.6.1? Have you changed anything? The drives should unmount when SuperDuper! exits, but we don't "force" unmounting: we "request" an unmount. If Spotlight (or anything else) is busy on the drive, they will not unmount...

I don't think it has worked in the current version which I've had running on 10.5.7 and 10.5.8 - so It also seems unrelated to the OSX version.

Each night I schedule smart copy of 2 volumes - one a boot and the other a data volume. Neither target is mounted. The copies work but both volumes are left mounted.

This definitely worked at some point in the previous version of SD. I can't say exactly when it started not working as I had my external drive powered off for a few weeks.

I'm also not getting Growl email notifications anymore - have it set to MailMe for all SD! activities - is there any other config required?

Have you deleted and recreated your schedules with v2.6.1?

Hi Dave,

I recreated the 2 schedules and let them run as scheduled at 2am. When I checked this morning the source Data volume had been unmounted, but the source System volume had not. The only diff in the 2 schedules is that the System copy has a post-run shell script that fixes the pre-bindings.

Is spotlight enabled for one and not the other? (Check in the Spotlight preference pane's "Privacy" tab.)
