First of all, thank you for your suggestions and help, everyone. I got it unmounted (fuser helped). Second, has anyone ever encountered the following: ADSL service dies (connection reset). I proceed to do the following (cdrom is mounted, accord. to fuser no processes are using it) alpha:/cdrom# adsl-start . Connected! alpha:/cdrom#fuser /cdrom/ /cdrom/: 2176c 2485c 2513c 2515c The processes are: (incidentally, this is all being done as root) root 2176 0.0 0.4 2308 1392 pts/2 S 10:42 0:00 bash root 2485 0.0 0.3 2080 1048 pts/2 S 12:18 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/adsl-connect root 2513 0.0 0.2 1936 912 ?

S 12:18 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppoe -p /var/run/pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -U -m 1412 For some obscure reason, my running adsl-start from /cdrom has mated the processes to the directory. Is that supposed to happen? Additional info: System is standalone, no NFS or other users present.
