Same for rawhide. eject as a person with console access used to work, now only root does. Annoying.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
eject is working fine again in FC5. Not a security issue, so I'll mark it fixed.
It didn't work for me yesterday, I had to eject the cd by right-click the gnome desktop icon, and choosing "eject". Typing "eject" did nothing.
In FC5 it still doesn't work properly. Cannot eject CDs as user after using Grip; must have root privileges to eject. I guess, it depends on the type of CD somehow (like extra multimedia tracks etc.)
I'd like to re-open this bug. It doesn't make sense that a non-root user can eject the cd-rom when using gnome, but that this fails to work when using the command-line. $ eject /dev/hdd umount: /media/LABEL is not in the fstab (and you are not root) eject: unmount of `/media/LABEL' failed
I can confirm that the command-line eject will not eject a mounted CD-ROM: you have to be root to unmount the disk, or you have to be using a program with special privilege (like Gnome's right-click eject). That's somewhat different from the original bug report here, which was that there was no way to eject a disk without a root password. However, it does appear I was premature in closing this; the inconsistency is annoying. Reopening for FC5.
it's fixed in eject-2.1.5-0.1.fc5. Please update it from FC5-update
eject-2.1.5-0.1.fc5 doesn't work for me. 1. Insert a CD containing a file system 2. It automounts 3. Run "eject" 4. Get error: umount: /media/LABEL\040WITH\040SPACES: not found eject: unmount of `/LABEL\040WITH\040SPACES' failed
Same for eject-2.1.5-0.2.fc5.
