Yes, because you've put /dev/hdd in fstab. When you mount, the cdrom link is followed and mount mounts hdd (look at /etc/mtab). When you umount, it finds /dev/hdd in mtab, but /cdrom in fstab, and complains. -- David Wright, Open University, Earth Science Department, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA U.K. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +44 1908 653 739 fax: +44 1908 655 151
