The system will automount the drive and Konqueror sees it as such.
While konqueror won't allow you to mount it a second time, the command
line will.  You'll have it mounted on top of itself, however, and it
will take two "umount /mnt/cdrom" commands to unmount it.

You can try to force an unmount by using "umount -f /mnt/cdrom", too.


[root@obsidian root]# umount /mnt/cdrom
umount: /mnt/cdrom: not mounted
[root@obsidian root]# umount /mnt/cdrom
umount: /mnt/cdrom: not mounted
[root@obsidian root]# umount /mnt/cdrom
umount: /mnt/cdrom: not mounted
[root@obsidian root]# umount -f /mnt/cdrom
umount2: Invalid argument
umount: /mnt/cdrom: not mounted
[root@obsidian root]# umount -f /mnt/cdrom
umount2: Invalid argument
umount: /mnt/cdrom: not mounted
[root@obsidian root]# umount -f /mnt/cdrom
umount2: Invalid argument
umount: /mnt/cdrom: not mounted
[root@obsidian root]#

But when I tried to then burn using k3b I get this error again:

Error trying to open /dev/hdc exclusively ... retrying in 1 second.

I'm not sure how its not mounted yet its in use.

Go into your desktop options and turn off the automount on the CD drive. In Gnome it's:

	Red Hat Icon --> Preferences --> CD Properties

There should be something similar in KDE (I don't use KDE often).
