Here is what happened:
[root@localhost /]# ls -l /dev/hdd
brw-rw-rw- 2 root disk 22, 64 May 5 1998 /dev/hdd
[root@localhost /]# ls -l /dev/cdrom
brw-rw-rw- 2 root disk 22, 64 May 5 1998 /dev/cdrom
[root@localhost /]#
I suppose that `b' stands for `block device'. In that event isn't it the
case
that /dev/cdrom is not a symbolic link after all (otherwise there should
be an `l' at the beginning of the line)?

[root@localhost /root]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@localhost /root]# umount /mnt/cdrom
^^^
{I tried before using `umount /dev/cdrom'}
[root@localhost /root]# eject
eject: CDROMEJECT ioctl failed for `/dev/cdrom': Device or resource busy
[root@localhost /root]# eject -f
eject: CDROMEJECT ioctl failed for `/dev/cdrom': Device or resource busy
[root@localhost /root]#
Any ideas?
