cd wont eject

[Richard England]

Another alternative is to use
 /sbin/fuser -v   /media/<mounted>

to determine who and what was keeping the device busy.

However,  I believe I have experienced the same situation as Ameur and I 
have been unable to determine what had the device tied up.   When I 
encounter it next, I'll be more diligent.
