In trying to automate my removable media, I have installed autofs-4.1.3. Everything works fine except that I cannot open the CDROM drive by pressing the 'eject' button unless I issue (as root) <umount /dev/cdrom>.

My understanding was the a fs mounted by automount would be automatically unmounted after the "timeout." I have set this value to 3 seconds in /etc/sysconfig/autofs.conf. I've looked at the automount hint and the HOWTO's listed there and cannot discover what I have done or not done. With the exception of changing the timeout value, I have done no hacking on any of the other autofs files, which I installed from blfs-bootscripts.

Am I correct in my understanding? Is there anything else I should do that may not be covered in the book?

Thanks

Dan
