Huh?  You mean, after a successful umount, i could not eject a
removable medium?  I've never seen this, and i'm occasionally using a
MO drive.  Not only that i could remove it after umounting, my `od'
driver even runs with the option to spin down the cartridge after
closing, so i would `hear' if the drive were still open.

Please, quote the coding errors, instead of only throwing claims.
