Rick Moseley <rmoseley@xxxxxxxxxx> said about CDROM mount/unmount: >I have a friend with the following problem on a FC2 Compaq system with >his CDROM mounting/unmounting. Here is his description: >One more thing - I got a quick Fedora question. We are having trouble with >mounting and unmounting CDROM's on a <derogatory remark about >Compaq removed> PC.

Try umount -l /dev/cdrom. This will "soft" unmount the CD. Then try 'eject /dev/cdrom' This should eject the disk. However, I will make a note of caution. If the drive is in use by any program, such as cron.daily, you can break the program and possibly leave opened files on the system which may/may not require a hard restart. I would look further into what processes are running when the drive is not ejecting the disk. It is possible that a process is accessing the disk when you were not expecting it.
