I get the Disk Workspace menu greyed out for floppies, CDs and ODs.  This  
is intermittent.  So far, loggin out has always ejected the devices, as  
has umount and disk -e.

A similar but unconnected problem with 3.0 is the DOS filesystem.   
Although you can now write to DOS floppies (a chnage from 2.2) and the  
dates are right (!!), I get a lot of complaints about long file names and  
'invalid arguments' when filenames include capitals.

If anyone can get 3.0 Librarian to work properly...
