[LI] Problem unmounting CDROM from KDE desktop!

[Shirish Bhagwat <shirish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

In KDE, it allows me to mount CD by double-clicking on CDROM's KDE
desktop icon.
But when I try to unmount using the menu (Right button-hold->unmount) it
fails.  Why?

The KFM Error Window displays:
===
Could not unmount:

Error log:

unmount:/dev/hdd is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
===

I have:
/dev/cdrom    /mnt/cdrom    iso9660   users, noauto, ro     0  0

entry in /etc/fstab
and can unmount it by issueing 'umount /mnt/cdrom' command from any user
account in terminal though.

I checked man pages on 'mount', 'fstab', and 'umount' to see if there is
something  on this.
Can anybody tell about this?

What role '/etc/mtab' play in this?

/etc/mtab has entry as below:
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0

Does this 'noexec' option in '/etc/mtab' entry state that I can't
execute files off CDROM?

cdrom.kdelink file in ~/Desktop direcotry has 644 permissions on it.
I tried setting permissions in 'properties' window of CDROM icon on
desktop.

Anybody has any ideas about this?

thanks
shirish
