Forget about my previous statement regarding USB connected drives. It turned
out that automatic mounting and unmounting works fine IF ONE IS NOT LOGGED ON
TO THE CONSOLE . I did all my tests yesterday while being logged on to the
console of the otc device (Ctrl+Alt+F1). Today I accidently noticed that
everything works fine for an USB connected drive if I just use the gui screen
(Alt+F7). Weird, isn't it?
But this doesn't apply for internal (S)ATA connected drives: the disks are
mounted automatically but cannot be ejected by pressing the eject button. The
script you recommended to solve that problem would have to be integrated
somehow into the automounting/autounmounting mechanism to have it executed by
an "eject button event". Therefore I asked how this automounting/unmounting
feature is implemented in otc.
Any idea?
Thanks!
(I recommend to put this in the issue tracker, because a complete recycling of
old PC Hardware to otc ThinClients wont't work if optical drives are still
needed. There is another issue open which may be related:
https://issues.openthinclient.org/otc/browse/SUITE-403)

Thanks for the reply, but.. are you sure that your CD was mounted before you
pressed the eject button? When I tested with an USB attached DVD-Drive the disk
was mounted only if it was inserted at boot time - and I could not eject it by
pressing the eject button. If I insert the disk *after* the boot process has
finished, I can eject the disk by pressing the eject button, but this works
only because the disk wasn't mounted at all.
With (S)ATA attached drives it looks a little bit different: it doesn't matter
wether I insert die disk before or after boot - it is mounted automatically,
but again - cannot be ejected by pressing the eject button.
Do you use otc version 1.0 or an older one?
Thanks!

Hello,
I have a DVD-Drive plugged with USB on the ThinClient, there are no problems.
I press the eject key and the CD comes out.
But to solve your problem, try to create a new application "command-line" with
parameter "sudo umount /dev/media/xyz"
Perhaps this can solve your problem.
Regards and good luck.

Hi everybody,
I'm in the process of testing OTC 1.0 and experienced a problem with
optical media, which would be a showstopper for using OTC in our
environment: When a cdrom is inserted in a local (S)ATA optical drive,
it's mounted automatically (nice!) but cannot be ejected by the user(!).
The only chance to get the disk out of the drive seems to be a reboot of
the ThinClient.
Can you confirm this behaviour? (Is someone working on a solution
already?)
Which daemon/mechanism mounts the disk automatically when
inserted? (supermount or autofs should do the job.)
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Christoph
