Umount failed

[max246]

Hi,
I mustn't umount the cdrom and eject, the message error:

umount: only ivman can unmount /dev/hda from /media/cdrom0


Why? I need to join on the group o add the permission?

hi max246

are you running this command as root?
if not, the root user should have access.

you can use the "sudo" command:
sudo umount /dev/cdrom

hope that helps,
Kris

No, when click "umount" on file manger ( gnome ) I can't and return this error.

If you are not logged in the GUI as root it won't work. You could easily open a terminal and do it, use 'su' or 'sudo' to get to root depending on your distribution.
