Re: [openthinclient-user] No automatic unmount of media in (S)ATA optical drives? [SOLVED]
Hi, I figured this out for myself meanwhile. I created a commandline application with the following command line: sudo sh -c 'echo 0 /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock;cd /usr/lib/hal;mv hal-unmount.sh hal-unmount.sh.otc;sed s/remove/remove -o \$ACTION = change/ hal-unmount.sh.otc hal-unmount.sh;chmod 755 hal-unmount.sh;echo SUBSYSTEM==\block\,ID_BUS==\scsi\,ACTION==\change\, RUN+=\/usr/lib/hal/hal-unmount.sh\ /etc/udev/rules.d/85-hal.rules;/etc/init.d/udev restart' The first command (echo 0 /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock) is all important - it disables the cdrom tray locking completely, so you can eject the media while it's still mounted. The following commands are patches against the udev rules and the hal script to make the automatic unmounting of the already ejected media work for non-USB drives as well. It would be nice to find this patch in the next official otc release. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, but.. are you sure that your CD was mounted before you pressed the eject button?
