I have a Hitachi ATAPI CDROM that root can mount and umount all day long.
The problem is that a regular user can only mount, he can't umount. The
system complains:

/cdrom mount disagrees with fstab

The fstab is nothing exotic:

/dev/cdrom    /cdrom   iso9660   ro, user, noauto   0    0

where /dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/hdb
I have also tried:

/dev/hdb     /cdrom    iso9660   ro, user, noauto   0    0

When I tried /dev/hdc, the system complained that hdc was not
a block device.


I have posted to USENET several times but nothing helps so far.
