#: If you count CD-roms in on that, sure. To allow removal, just 'umount' the

Why not just put some semantics into 'eject' which will automagically umount
the volume?

Or (shudder-gasp) an automagic volume manager?  Not necessarily as Slowlaris
does it but more an automount-style mount point, where it tries to mount
the cd-rom on the mount point listed in the fstab only on first access, and
then it will time out and try to umount it?

It could work.
