Hi Andreas, David and others Thanks for your advice.

I reworked the setup as follows; # ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdwriter # ls -al /dev/ | grep cdrom ..... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2004-01-05 04:04 cdrom -> /dev/ cdrom0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2004-01-05 04:04 cdrom0 -> /dev/hdd ..... (already exist) re-editted /etc/fstab # cat /etc/fstab .... /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdwriter auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0 Created /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/cdwriter Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace relogin Now on KDE desktop I can mount and umount both 'cdrom' and 'cdwriter' by right-clicking their icons -> mount/umount But I could not eject them by right-clicking their icons -> eject. I must push the bottom of their devices manually. Also on Konsole window $ eject /mnt/cdrom or $ eject /mnt/cdwriter did not work. Rebooted the PC with the same result B.R.
