Yes this already exists in KDE. If you press the eject button on your CD drive while a programme is using it (or eject via the GUI) KDE will inform you which processes are using the drive.

However, KDE does not provide you with any options for resolving this problem. It would be nice to have a “switch-to” button or a “kill” button.

GNOME and KDE might have different ways to do it – and supporting both might mean duplicating the work. These are proposals – feel free to edit it to add “and KDE” there.

“Reliable unmounting of removable media”
“GNOME should tell you which processes are using the volume”

Does this work in KDE? (Not for me.) Or why is the proposed project only for GNOME?
