Another alternative is to use /sbin/fuser -v /media/<mounted>
to determine who and what was keeping the device busy.
However, I believe I have experienced the same situation as Ameur and I have been unable to determine what had the device tied up. When I encounter it next, I'll be more diligent.

Hi all,
I use FC3.
I usually have this problem with KDE, and very rare on Gnome, the DR drive won’t eject , I try to umount it and I get the message that the device is busy, even to be ROOT , so I always have to reboot.
Many thanks

First find the file that is open:
/usr/sbin/lsof | grep /media
(assuming your CD is mounted as /media/Something. replace with actual mountpoint
if this finds nothing, try
umount -l /media/cdrom (or whatever is appropriate for you) note this is - l as in lazy not #1
