mount / umount problem

Dr.Paneas · 2010-02-10 14:39:37

I use HAL and pmount to mount the CD-ROM

But when I am trying tou pumount: media/cd device is busy...
I cannot umount the cdrom without restart the computer thought. . .

EDIT: I can umount it only as root :

umount -l /dev/cdrom

Should I change my fstab ?

auto mount is not working using hal . . .

I mean it works if I restart hal daemon. But if I want to insert a second, or third, or another disk after hal being restarted there is no auto mount.

yea i used to use sudo to mount and umount... did you try adding optical to your user group?

Take a look to my system files:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

/dev/cdrom             /media/cd     iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide    0    0

#/dev/fd0               /media/fl   auto    user,noauto             0      0

/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 /var reiserfs defaults 0 2
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 /home jfs defaults 0 2

My normarl user is called 'paneas', so take a loot to my /etc/group

The hal daemon's auto hotplugging ISN'T working.
Check it:

[root@arch ~]# ls /media/cd
[root@arch ~]# ls /var/run/daemons/
alsa  crond  dbus  hal    netfs  net-profiles  network  syslog-ng
[root@arch ~]# /etc/rc.d/hal restart
:: Stopping Hardware Abstraction Layer                                   [DONE] 
:: Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer                                   [DONE] 
[root@arch ~]# ls /media/cd

Arch Wiki fstab entry wrote:

# auto - File system will mount automatically at boot, or when the command 'mount -a' is issued.
# noauto - The filesystem is mounted only when you tell it to.

That might help...

It didn't actually, but thanks
I read the HAL wiki page so I configured my files again:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 /var reiserfs defaults 0 2
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 /home jfs defaults 0 2

I added hal and dbus into the modules=() of /etc/rc.conf

Nothing yet. . . .
