cdrom wont eject as user

Hi!

Iam using dbus, hal and gnome-volume-manager for automounting.

Everythink goes normal with usb, but when cdrom is automounted i cant eject it with normal user. I can eject it with root.

Iam in groups:

[matej@arch ~]$ groups matej
disk audio optical storage users

Please help me && tnx

Re: cdrom wont eject as user

umount: /media/disk is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
eject: unmount of `/media/disk' failed

Re: cdrom wont eject as user

does the /medis/disk line in fstab have the option 'user'?

paste your /etc/fstab...

Re: cdrom wont eject as user

try unmounting the cd BEFORE you use eject.

Re: cdrom wont eject as user

Automounting and autoUNmounting are 2 different things.
While some solutions (automount,submount) try to to do both, others only do automounting, NOT unmounting.
