#12 Umount tries to eject floppy or flash disc

[Anonymous]

When I use fstab default settings, umounting device
shows me an error with ejecting device like floppy or
flash disc (eject works only for CD-ROM!). There's no
possibility to only umount device without ejecting...

On the other hand I would set mounting properties
manually, but I have to fill "device" gap. Then I can't
mount any device at all, since only root can mount this
way:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

Solution would be to leave "device" epmty and resulting
command would look like this:

mount /mnt/floppy

which is allowed to any user. Unfortunately when
"device" gap is unfilled mounting doesn't work.

You can add the option 'users' to your fstab file, so that
any user can mount/umount that device (useful for floppies).
If the user specifies both the mount point and the device
and they match what fstab knows, it should work.
