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.
