What'd be really spiffy is if when I hit the eject button on my CDROM drive that whatever scsi signal that event generates, was intercepted by the kernel and, provided the filesystem met the normal criteria for being umount'd(i.e. nothing accessing it), it would be umount'd and then ejected. I know nothing about what happens when I hit the eject button on a CDROM drive. Anyone care to speculate on if that's a reasonable thing to implement? Brandon D.
