The disc would not eject even after apt-cdrom had unmounted it. I did a 'umount /dev/cdrom' and it said the device was not mounted, of course. It would not eject, period. Therefore, I logged out to the Debian GUI start page and logged back in. In that case, it ejected as soon as I closed out the KDE session. This error is in addition to the device not being able to umount once it has been mounted by almost any process. I have installed autofs but have not been using it long. Perhaps there is some other conflict here? Anyone have any ideas? __________________________________ Yahoo!
