Is there some magic that'll allow me to eject my ipod that's
automounted via a device file that I *own*?! I tried both "user"
and "user=rader" (me.)
I can do it after mounting via /etc/fstab with the "user" option.
The system is RHEL5 w/ automount 5.0.1
Details follow. Please feel free to ask for more.
