Samba won't let autofs unmount cdrom

[random-feed]

Greetings, all!

I just looked into autofs and got it working on both my desktop and an ancient box I use for a home router.

I wanted to share (with samba) the cdrom device on the latter, so other stations can use it (would be handy for copying CDs or just having an extra cd reader in the house). I configured autofs to mount the cdrom and added a share in smb.conf. Voalla, I was able to access the cdrom via smb://192.168.0.1/cdrom. I set the timeout to 5 sec, and I expected autofs to umount it if the share is not accessed. Alas, it did not. It takes a restart of samba to do this.

I am certain that no clients are hooked to the share at the moment. Is there a way to tell smbd to leave it alone? Ideas?

OK, guess this was a stupid question.

I solved it by sharing /misc instead of /misc/cd

Still, if someone can think of a better way, feel free to PM or post here
