I recently purchased an optical drive for doing backups. After doing a
backup, I naturally flipped the switch to write protect.
At a later point, I needed to restore some files from the backup, and
so, stuck the disk back in, and mounted it.
When I was done, the disk wouldn't unmount. When I tried, umount
came back with a 'permission denied'. At the time, I was root. (If
root doesn't have permission, who does?!)
The problem was in my /etc/fstab file, I had the following:
/dev/da1c /backup ufs rw 0 0
OK, so it is my fault, I should have mounted it read-only.
Unfortunately, it took a reboot to get the disk out of the drive!
So, I am thinking that perhaps the code should be made more robust?
