Typing 'mount' should give you some output similar to this: [root@it-router2 /root]# mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) automount(pid662) on /misc type autofs (rw,fd=5,pgrp=662,minproto=2,maxproto=3) The output above does not have a cd mounted, but if you do, it should show up--perhaps near the end of the list. If it is mounted by autofs, then it probably shows up mounted at /misc/cd. If so, you should be able to type 'umount /misc/cd' and get a normal prompt back, or an error message and prompt. If the error message says /misc/cd is busy, enter 'lsof | more' and then look for processes using /misc/cd by entering '//misc/cd'. The first two columns of each match found identify the program name (command) and process ID using the cd. Kill them, or if one or more is a bash window, 'cd ~' to leave the /misc/cd directory. Then try your 'eject' or 'umount' again. Good luck.
