I am a linux newbie and have a CDRW/DVD combo drive and when I try to unmount a CD after using an RPM or other file from it (excluding copying a file to hard drive) says “error: cannot unmount. Drive in use” even though there is no other processes running or anything using the drive, how can I stop this so that I can unmount it. Is there anyway to force an unmount? Thanks!

As root , try to use "lsof /mnt/cdrom" . This will show if the cdrom is really busy and which processes are using it... Then you can find the process that's using it and close it (if it's not responding , kill it...)
