Hmm.. I think the kernel automounter should be able to handle this..

Anyway, for me the biggest issue in all this has always been that you couldn't 
eject a cdrom with the eject button on the drive once the device was mounted.

The system should be able to unmount the device regardsless of which resources 
are using it when you press the eject button. You know best if you want the 
disk out or not, the system shouldn't restrict you in doing this.

Same thing with usb storage. The system should auto-unmount the device if you 
unplug it.
