Bug 167298

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

As we are using hal resmgr udev and so on to give normal user access right to
removable media, and KDE always open (mount) DVDs and CDs, it would be nice to
offer user the possibility also to simply umount removable media without
ejecting them.

Normal example of this lack of functionality should be a rewriting of a CDRW.
When CDRW is inserted, KDE opens it and from console when you try to erase it
you can't:

USERNAME@PC~> :~> wodim dev=/dev/sr0 blank=fast
wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
limits.Error trying to open /dev/sr0 exclusively (Device or resource busy)...

For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'.
For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file README.ATAPI.setup from
the wodim documentation.

I don't have any solution for it without using umount from root as kdeeject
ejects the media and also do dolphin or konqueror

I' opened the same wish in novell's bugzilla system (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=362132), they asked me to reopen in kde wishlist
