Description of problem: "Eject" or "Unmount Volume" in desktop icon context menu for (user-mounted) CD-ROM, floppy etc. appears to do nothing. Device has to be unmounted via Disks on background menu. <flame> Don't you even test *simple* things like this before making a release??? </flame> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.1-5 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. E.g. Disks->CD-ROM to mount CD-ROM, or let magicdev auto-mount it. 2. Right-click on CD icon, choose "Eject" Actual results: Nothing Expected results: CD-ROM is ejected. Additional info: I don't use magicdev myself. magicdev is *evil*. I don't want millions of lines like kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. in my system log.
Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/) for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the 'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been provided. If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
I'm unable to reproduce this on recent Fedora Core or Enterprise Linux setups - not even on Enterprise Linux 3 (which is very similar to Red Hat Linux 9) - so I'll assume it is fixed. I don't think we can be 100% sure, though, as I suspect this problem did not occur all the time in the past, but was seen only for certain users and/or machines.
