Description Michal Jaegermann 2006-03-01 20:16:22 UTC
Description of problem:

Below /dev/hdc happens to be my CD driver and /dev/fd0 a regular floppy.

With floppy and CD mounted, from a desktop or using gnome-mount,

gnome-umount -d /dev/fd0
gnome-umount -d /dev/hdc

unmount corresponding devices AND remove mount points, as expected, but
do not eject CD.  Fair enough.

'gnome-umount --help' suggests '-e, --eject        Eject rather than mount'.
(Note "mount" in help text and not "umount").  Despite of that both

gnome-umount -e -d /dev/fd0
gnome-umount -e -d /dev/hdc

do nothing beyond returning with status 1.

gnome-mount -e -d /dev/fd0
gnome-mount -e -d /dev/hdc

actually unmount media, in both cases, and CD is ejected.  But in case of 
/dev/hdc a mount point is removed and a status is 0, while for /dev/fd0 
a mount point is left behind - with status 1.

In other words, if you need to use that in a script then you have to guess
if '-e' can be applied to a given device, and then if 'gnome-mount' or
'gnome-umount' needs to be used,  instead of "eject" just ignored where 
not applicable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-mount-0.4-2

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-04-03 17:03:14 UTC
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

The process we're following is outlined here:

We will be following the process here:

doesn't happen again.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2008-05-07 00:24:18 UTC
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was
first requested. As a result we are closing it.

If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora
version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
