If you are sharing your computer with others, it might be a good idea to use 'users' instead. It allows other users to unmount a mounted device. Thus, if someone forgets a CD into the dirve, others can unmount and eject it.edit /etc/fstab and add 'user' to your list of options like in this example :
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user 0 0
What I cant understand is that why isnt the exceelent supermount being used for removable media in gentoo, it makes using cd's easy, you simply inert the cd and the os auto mounts it, and you can eject the cd when you want, there is no need to unmount it manually before ejecting it. Its really a good thing on desktop system to have.
To be honest, I find the way Windows does things (with "automounting") pretty f.... up, and don't see any need
to have it under Linux. But oh, well, Gentoo is about choices... :-)
