I've encountered a problem with the K3B DVD/CD writer program: when I attempt to write to the DVD, K3B tells me that it's already mounted. I'm a little surprised, since I wouldn't have thought that putting a blank | DVD in the drive would provoke an implicit mount. I also can't find a way to unmount the DVD without using root privileges.
Is there a way to prevent the implicit mount?
You can put the option users at the dvd-recorder's entry at /etc/fstab. That lets normal users mount/unmount the drive, so k3b (run as a normal user) won't have any problem unmounting it when it needs to write. (that did the trick for me).
Your comment suggests that you encountered the same problem I did. Once you added "user" to the /etc/fstab entry, did K3B do the necessary unmount on its own or did you have to do it yourself explicitly? Paul
