Very Computer

Hi,
        I'm trying to have some of my users mount and unmount the
cdrom drive, but without success. According to the CDROM howto adding
a fstab line like:

/dev/cdrom  /cdrom  iso9660  ro,user,noexec,nosuid,nodev  0 0

should work, but it doesn't.
Mounting works fine, but when I try to unmount it I get:

umount: /cdrom mount disagrees with the fstab

I have no idea what this means, but I checked in both /mtab and
/proc/mounts the mount options to see any discrepancy and I can't find
any.

Thanx,
Alberto

Actually this question has been asked several time, probably mount should be
changed.

Problem:
- /dev/cdrom is a symbolic link to the real device.
- During mount the name of the actual device will be entered in /etc/mtab.
- When unmounting the entry in /etc/mtab will be compared with the device in
/etc/fstab.
- The entry for the real device in /etc/mtab is different from the entry
/dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab
Therefore mount refuses to unmount the device.

Solution: Change the device in /etc/fstab from /dev/cdrom to the real device
name, e.g. /dev/scd0 or /dev/hdc
