Can´t eject DVD

I have a strange problem I can´t solve.
When I try to open my DVD a error is prompting me.

Failed to eject "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_CDDVDW_SH_S202H".
Given device "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_CDDVDW_SH_S202H" is not a volume or drive.

I guess it´s probably not that hard to solve, but I have no clue on how :S
Help would be very welcomed

Re: Can´t eject DVD

It seems to be a bug with HAL:

Re: Can´t eject DVD

try unmounting the drive and then eject:

sudo umount /dev/dvd
