Auto unmounting CD's

[dulek]

After upgrading to 9.10, I'm getting problems with CD's. Finally I found a solution to make CD mount automatically, but after removing it from the drive, it doesn't unmount automatically and if I want next CD to mount correctly I need to do this manually.

fstab entry:

/dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

Any ideas? Which daemon is doing this?

The topic of auto-maounting is subject to some late ammendments ..

Running RIGHT up to the RC release date

All the occurances of 'funnies' with automount seem to have been signed off as resolved, albeit very recently - Have you got the latest RC of 9.10 ?

Regards,

I've got any recent updates. I have discovered that gnome-volume-manager isn't running on my system. Command

/usr/lib/gnome-volume-manager/gnome-volume-manager -n

returns

manager.c/700: settings[22]: float: percent_used = 0,010000

This is because my options in gnome-volume-properties are all off. But there are no option for CD-s (they are in gconf, but not working). If gnome-volume-manager isn't responsible for automount - what is? Maybe I turned it off?

Ok, I've got it - I installed pmount and removed fstab entry and automount is working for CD-rom. But I have problem with mounting hard drives. Could someone show fstab automatically created by Karmic? I want to look on NTFS drive entries.
