    How to unmount a CD?

    I`ve typed:
    mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

    Now I want to put another disk and I don`t know how to unmount it?
    Tried eject and umount but it gives me device busy.

    First make sure you aren't currently in the /mnt/cdrom directory via a shell or graphical file manager.

    Try: "umount /mnt/cdrom"

    If that doesn't work try that or "eject cdrom" as root. Hopefully that should work.

    I have gotten in the habit of doing this:

    sudo umount -a

    It won't umount anything that's in use (/home, /, /proc etc) but it will umount everything it can.
