I suppose this is what the eject command is supposed to do. In Sarge I havn't 
got the eject command to work a single time yet. Often it isn't even possible 
to umount a CD-ROM: "device is being used", even when all programs using the 
CD are terminated. This is a real pain, as it is often only possible to 
remove the CD-ROM after winding down the whole system. A solution was given I 
believe on this list a while ago, but it didn't work (sysctl something). 
Unfortunately it is small usability bugs like these which really turn newbies 
off and back to other systems where these mount problems don't seem to occur 
(but other ones :-)
