Thanks, that does it. However, when I try to eject a disk using 'eject
/mnt/jaz/hfs', I get the following response:
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
using 'eject /dev/sdc' I get:
eject: unable to find or open device for: `/dev/sdc'
any thoughts on this? The manual entry says that if eject does not work, it
is most likely a limitation of the kernel driver for the device and not the
eject program itself.
