I was wrong to say the cdrom gets unmounted when I eject -- it's
locked until I manually unmount. Is there supposed to be an entry in
fstab for the cdrom if you want gnome-vfs/hal to mount it for you? Is
hal supposed to notify gnome-vfs who then mounts the drive?

I also noticed that /dev/sda, the device created for my usb memory
stick when I plug it in, has group ownership of "hal". I'm wondering
if that's supposed to be group "plugdev"?
