In your /etc/smb.conf, whereever you have the share for the cdrom defined, add two lines for preexec and postexec that would mount the cdrom if someone wants to access it and unmount the cdrom once they release the share. It worked great here, the only thing is that you will have to completely qualify the commands.... preexec = /usr/bin/mount /cdrom postexec = /usr/bin/umount /cdrom

I have samba running on my Linux server. The server's CD-ROM is shared. I noticed if a win95 client maps the CD-ROM "folder" to a drive letter, I can not umount the CD-ROM. Even after the drive letter is unmapped, I cannot umount the CD.

How to I unmount the CD-ROM? Stopping samba, then restarting it seems fairly brutish, and I would prefer to use a more elegant method.
