Hey, you're right, with /dev/cdrom, it happens to me too. It looks like
there's something weird going on with /etc/mtab. (fam monitors that itself,
and when it changes, fam rebuilds its table of mounted filesystems and
sends notification for monitored stuff which was just mounted or unmounted.)
Anyway, the weird thing about /etc/mtab is its inode number is changing
after some operations (so it's being replaced by a new file), and fam isn't
noticing subsequent mounts/unmounts. It looks like part of the problem is
that FileSystemTable::mtab_event_handler ignores everything except Changed
events on /etc/mtab, and part of the problem is that you don't seem to get
changed events when you're monitoring a file (not a directory) and someone
renames a file over the one you're monitoring. That looks like a problem
in imon (as it works on irix running the same fam).
