Description Brock Organ 2000-02-02 21:50:50 UTC

Currently, ejecting/unmounting a cd may/may not work for a given KDE
session for cds mounted by another user in a previous KDE session on a
machine, ie:

login as user1 (startx w/kde) ...
mount a cd ...
logout leaving cd mounted...
login as user2 (startx w/kde) ...
try to eject cd ...
Error: only user1 can unmount /dev/cdrom ...

Brock:

What should we do about this?  Cause autorun to automatically unmount things
when it quits?  Do you know how magicdev handles this?

Comment 2 Preston Brown 2000-02-04 20:39:59 UTC

we can't fix this easily at all.

Comment 3 Andrew Bartlett 2001-02-14 13:44:22 UTC

When the first user logs out the device should revert to normal ownersips
(pam_console) and when the second user logs in they should own the device.  Why
can't mount be told to check the permissions of the device (rather than the
user=string), therefore letting user2 unmount the cd?
