You've either got a process with it's current working directory somewhere under /cdrom, or you've got a process with an open file descriptor (or a memory map) on one of the files on the CD. Try using: # fstat -f /cdrom to see if you can identify the culprits. Then either close them down, or CD to elsewhere in the filesystem if it's an interactive session. Once the CD Rom is idle, you should be able to dismount it easily. To elaborate on what Matthew was saying, if you cd /cdrom once it's mounted, and you try to unmount, you're going to get an error. I always make certain to cd back home and the unmount the CD. You can't unmount a device that you're currently 'on.'

If I do the umont from KDE I get the same error message. What I'm doing wrong?? Thank you for all the help.
