VolumeUnmountForced symlink problem

[Rohan McGovern]

Hi all,

With HAL (versions 0.4.7 and 0.5.0), I'm seeing the following behaviour:

If I insert a CD in /dev/hdc, with an fstab entry for /dev/hdc, 
'mount /dev/hdc', then eject without unmounting, it is automatically 
unmounted and HAL sends VolumeUnmountForced.

If I insert a CD in /dev/hdc, with an fstab entry for /dev/cdrom which is a 
symlink to /dev/hdc, 'mount /dev/cdrom', then eject without unmounting, 
nothing happens (i.e. the FS stays mounted and the kernel complains 'VFS: 
busy inodes on changed media' until I manually 'umount').

(note: I did "echo 0 > /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock" in order to be able to eject 
without unmounting.)

Surely the behaviour should be consistent for both symlinked and real device 
node mounts?
