Disks won't eject in Leopard
Sometimes disks (any disks, not just CD/DVDs) refuse to eject. I've
tried ejecting with Disk Utility. I've tried command-line unmount. I've tried
telling spotlight settings under "Privacy" to not index the drive.
I've tried using
lsof and fuser to find processes. Eventually, "lsof | grep VOLNAME"
found fseventsd.
So, I killed the fseventsd process (don't worry, it'll restart automatically).
After that, the drive ejected.
Will add more later.
