Ahhhh! Thanks a lot for the comment Sven. I find the real reason: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep dvd /etc/fstab /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto users,noauto,exec,ro 0 0 /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd auto user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /media/dvd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ umount /media/dvd && echo ok ok [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /mnt/dvd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ umount /mnt/dvd umount: only root can unmount /dev/dvd from /mnt/dvd I.e., the trick is not actually the name-du-jour of the DVD drive, but the mount point -- under /mnt, no; under /media yes. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
