I have no problem mounting it, but I do have a problem umounting the drive. I did the following:
1. alter /etc/autofs.misc file Added the following line dvd -fstype=auto,ro :/dev/hdc where /dev/hdc is my dvd drive 2. uncoment /misc file and added the following: /misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60 3. enable autofs. 4. do a ls /misc/dvd This will display the dvd directory. If you wait for 60 seconds, the autofs will unmount the /misc/dvd, provided no program or prompt is accessing the device. -- Joseph Loo [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
