Jza Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 After coping my data from my cd to my computer, I couldnt eject the cdrom because it says the device was busy. I cd away from /mnt/cdrom and close the programs and terminals and the message still pop up. My question is... is there a way to find out what is using this device?

lynchmob Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 As root, you can type umount -l /mnt/cdrom -l is the "lazy" option. You should be able to eject the cd now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
