Hey all, I just ran into the annoying fam and cdrom issue. It seems like it was fixed in Fedora Core 1 back in December. Does anyone know how to fix this issue in Debian Testing?Since I don't use Fedora (and I doubt many on this list do either) can you tell us what "the annoying fam and cdrom issue" is, perhaps a description or a link to a page that talks about it? Googling on annoying+fam+and+cdrom+issue didn't turn up anything interesting.
If you google for "cdrom fam device busy", there are lots of hits. Basically, the problem is after inserting a cdrom into the cdrom drive, fam starts monitoring the drive, causing a "device busy" error when attempting to unmount/eject the cd. If fam is shutdown (/etc/init.d/fam stop), then it is possible to unmount the cdrom. Sorry for the lack of information... Jason Martens
