Hiya, If i put a cdrom in the drive that the computer can read from, ie a scratched or dirty disk, the computer just keeps trying to read and will not let me take the cd out of the drive. I cant unmount it or eject it using the 'eject' command. Any other way to get the bugger out? Also, why would the computer suddenly stop automounting floppy's and cdroms? I have the autofs service started on bootup. Cheers me dears..
