Re: Automounter in KDE
About multiuser OS theory I've read in suse faq:
Q: why can't I simply remove the CD from drive without umount it first?
A: because it's a multiuser OS and if you simply remove the CD without
umounting it first the other users can't read it!
***
Isn't it an excuse rather that theory? :)
And whats happen if I umount it first and that remove? For other users the
result will be the same. :)
