Recently, I turned on User mounting in accordance with the GNOME FAQ. I'm operating on a recent -CURRENT. First, CD-ROM's and CDRW's work perfectly--mounting, reading, writing, and ejecting (unmounting). But . . . . ATAPI ZIP's don't work so well. They do mount, read, and write, but unmounting/ejecting is a strictly manual (command line) operation. Moreover, if you close the ZIP drive window and then try to re-open it, GNOME refuses saying that the drive is busy. It appears this occurs because GNOME is trying to re-mount and already mounted system. But there is no "Eject" option like the CD-ROM's and no unmount choice either. My /etc/fstab line looks like: /dev/afd0s4 /home/johnmary/zip msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0 Is this a known issue? Can it be fixed?
