Take a look at autofs, the example configuration file in RedHat-5.1 at least show how to implement some of these capabilities. The basic idea is to automount the filesystem on reference. Umounting still takes some time (tunable). OTOH, AFAIU little (if any) CDROM drives tell back that the user is trying to eject the disk so as to start the umount. -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Viña del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
