    I was wrong to say the cdrom gets unmounted when I eject -- it's
    locked until I manually unmount. Is there supposed to be an entry in
    fstab for the cdrom if you want gnome-vfs/hal to mount it for you? Is
    hal supposed to notify gnome-vfs who then mounts the drive?

    I also noticed that /dev/sda, the device created for my usb memory
    stick when I plug it in, has group ownership of "hal". I'm wondering
    if that's supposed to be group "plugdev"?
