cdrom/floppy umount issue possible bug

[Gustavo Rahal]

I have this same problem. At least for me what happens is that the
process "fam" keeps the cdrom busy. I can only umount it after killing
this process.  Type "/sbin/fuser -mv /mnt/cdrom" to check if this is
your case...
Does anybody know what is the purpose of this process?


Thanks
Gustavo
