| re mandrake 10 I get device busy when I try to unmount the cdrom from the dektop icon and eject fails also' A google search shows some others having the same problem but no solution. Running fuser as root shows a pid using "/mnt/cdrom2" the pid number does not show up in top. How can I identify a program number from it's PID. -- faeychild |

UPDATE The program using the cdrom is called "FAM" killing fam releases the cdrom. How do these things ever get past testing?, it seems another,maybe not useless but, annoying bell and whistle. It can be stopped by removeng it's command from "/etc/inetd.conf" pity I can't find this file in mandrake, not on that path anyway. -- faeychild |

Add (or change) the option service fam { ... disable = yes } and restart the xinetd program. (Xinetd is the successor of inetd) |
