Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Removed USB-drive still shows in file manager (feddit.dk)

I have very little experience with linux, so maybe this is a dumb question :)

I run Ubuntu 24.04 on a machine, and I had an old HDD in a usb-case which I mounted using fstab. Worked fine, but I decided it wasn't appropriate for my purpose and removed it (physically and from fstab).

But it still shows up in the file manager? What am I missing?

It's mounted to /srv

I suspect that your /srv had already existed before you mounted that drive for the very first time, and there were even some files in /srv.

The mounting of the drive has made these "old" /srv files invisible. But it has not deleted them. Now you unmounted the drive, and they have come back like Zombies :)
