Once you figure out which process is accessing the mounted disk, you can stop that process.I like the way k3b works on the Debian side. Better than how it works on the Mandrake side. In Debian, however, I'm having a problem that I'm sure has a simple solution. I do not have automount enabled. I'm assuming it's something you do with /etc/fstab (?). So what I do is shell out, su, and 'mount -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom'. This works fine for reading a single CD or DVD. However, after I enter the command, it will not allow me to 'umount /dev/cdrom'. It keeps saying the device is busy. What do I need to do to get it to eject the media? How can I enable automounting the way it does it in Mdk? Or is it part of the same issue?Alternately, if you can't stop the process, you can do a lazy unmount. Check the umount man page for a complete description.As others have said, you'll have to install the autofs package to get automounting, or use one of the other suggested solutions.
You'll probably find that it's nautilus-throbber hanging on to it. Happened to me at the weekend unexpectedly. Don't know where it came from now, never had the issue before.
