BUT ....

Insert your CD and it will appear on your DESKTOP. There's no NEED
to assign/mount anything. It's done for you, through the mechanisms talked
about in here. It cannot be any easier.
------------------

List,

I see you've never had a CD or DVD get "stuck" in the drive.
Some are better than others; and "unmounting" depends on which 
codecs are connected to which apps, or even if the CD had a 
good burn or is in some way bad.


It can be a challenge to remove the CD/DVD and knowing the 
"mount" command and  designators is a good thing.  

Unfortunately, I think all this conversation is validation that
the udev system workings haven't been adequately explained
or made available for either the user or the guy who wants to
know how the stack works.  I think for the users it seems to
have merely appeared.  I'm amused that the system is so simple
that those in the "know" keep saying "go read the technical docs." 
(I'm not blaming anyone- I'm just commenting on the thread content).
I agree the system is good ** once you know it **.

I would also agree that some of us have been lax at going
to find the udev tech info.   And this thread has provided a 
lot of education.
