\
A: When you insert a disk into the optical or floppy disk drive, the Workspace automatically mounts the disk for you, and the disk appears to be owned by you. \
\
When you log out, the Workspace automatically ejects all of the disks that it has mounted while you were logged in. If there are programs still using the disk, an alert box will come up telling you that you cannot log out because these disks are in use. If you have a long running program that needs the disk, this poses something of a problem if you want to log out and leave it running in the background.\
\
The solution is to mount the disk manually. You must su to root in order to do this. You must then use the Unix
\f1\fs26 mount
\f0\fs28 command
\i without putting the disk into the drive
\i0 first. \
\
\f1\fs26 hostname%
\b su
\b0 \
Password:\
hostname#
\b mount /dev/od0a /OpticalDisk
\b0 \
\f0\fs28 \
When you use the
\f1\fs26 mount
\f0\fs28 command, the machine will ask you for the disk to be mounted. You will see an alert that says "
