always "device is busy" when mounting


I don't know why is it busy all time. I can't use standard mounting for cdrom, "mount /media/cdrom0". so I use "mount -l /media/cdrom0". But how can i fix the "busy" problem when i was mounting?

What distribution / version of linux are you running?

If running Mandrake with supermount you might get a busy error message. It does not require manually mounting or unmounting removable media.
