Fine, have a look at what I wrote below and forward it to the other list. > > On Wednesday 11 June 2003 11:42, Volker Krause wrote: > > On Tuesday 10 June 2003 13:27, Christian Hubinger wrote: > > > not really :-( > > > here on my woody ejectt unmounts the device when i type eject > > > /cdrom BUT if i'm using the device name eject /dev/cdrom (which > > > is a symbolic link) eject does not umount and throws an error. > > > i don't know if thats special to the debian version of eject > > > but here it definately does not work with the real device names > > > (as used in /etc/fstab) > > > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /dev/cdrom > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ eject /dev/cdrom <- does not work > > > eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument > > > > > > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ umount /dev/cdrom > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ eject /dev/cdrom <- works > > > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /dev/cdrom > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ eject /cdrom <- works > > > > > > so this seems to be a bug in eject.

I did investigate this problem lately. man eject told me: ... Eject may not always be able to determine if the device is mounted (e.g. if it has several names). If the device name is a symbolic link, eject will follow the link and use the device that it points to. ... So, it's not a bug, it's a feature :-> If you put the "real" device file (not a symlink) in /etc/fstab, eject works fine with mounted devices! Actually, this should be discussed in the debian-user* or some other lists rather than debian-kde. On this list, you should discuss why kdeeject does not work (which uses eject to do its job) :-) > > greetings, > chris > Tobias -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign - against HTML mail \ / No proprietary formats in attachments without request X i.e. *NO* WORD, POWERPOINT or EXCEL documents / \ Respect Open Standards http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html http://www.goldmark.org/netrants/no-word/attach.html Registered Linux User #293344
