Not sure if this might be your problem, but I used to have the same, and found it was caused by the "fam" daemon. I used to kill it with "wajig stop fam" (or more directly as "/etc/init.d/fam stop"). Then I was able to unmount the cdrom. Regards, Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
