Freed after 3 minutes? What about io-slaves that are not actively in use?
i.e. have no client(?) interested in that location. OK problem when moving
back/forward between a CD and FTP server...

Unmounting a CD could be done using a broadcast to
politely request that all that can should close references. Use D-BUS/DCOP?
Those who can not could put up a user message (like konsole...)
