I was wrong to say the cdrom gets unmounted when I eject -- it's locked until I manually unmount. Is there supposed to be an entry in fstab for the cdrom if you want gnome-vfs/hal to mount it for you? Is hal supposed to notify gnome-vfs who then mounts the drive? I also noticed that /dev/sda, the device created for my usb memory stick when I plug it in, has group ownership of "hal". I'm wondering if that's supposed to be group "plugdev"?
