Description of problem: when you insert a cdrom its automounted but when you try to umount it you get an error message "cdrom is busy" Fedora Core 1 on i686 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora (Gnome) 2. Insert a cdrom in the cdrom drive 3. click on the cdrom icon and select eject Additional info: i change the inittab to "id:3:initdefault:" to boot on text mode (also remove rhgb on grub.conf). Loging using a standar user. Startx and everything works OK
Seen here too, it seems fam holding open files there again :(
Obligatory "me too". If I use the command line to mount a cd or dvd from inside Gnome, I cannot umount it unless I change runlevels or reboot.
Here is how you can see what files were open. The only question now is why were the files open even though I had already closed them? Perhaps there is something wrong with file locks and read only file systems on Fedora (just a guess)? $ umount -v /dev/cdrom umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy $ /usr/sbin/lsof|grep cdrom fam 3376 nmarsh 31r DIR 22,64 2588 269 /mnt/cdrom/VIDEO_TS Note: I was *not* in /mnt/cdrom/VIDEO_TS anymore. # umount -vf /dev/cdrom umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy # kill 3376 # umount -v /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrom umounted
Can't wait till this is fixed. Was trying to show a pal how 'easy' desktop linux can be when we got bit by this bug...hehe. = )
I guess this is a duplicate for Bug #106936.

From KDE desktop (as root), installed rpm fam-2.6.10-9. To unmount and eject cd disk, go to Start Applications (red fedora) > system tools > disk management > high lite cd-rom and click on "unmount". Drive will unmount and disk will eject. This works. If just the eject button on the cd-rom drive is pushed, then a busy lite on the drive will show and disk will not eject.
The eject button on the drive is disabled while the drive is mounted (the drive is locked). This is normal behavior for all drive types that support it (cdroms, zips, ...). Well, using the disk management tool works, but isn't it easier just to right-click on the cdrom icon, select unmount and then press the eject button to eject it?
