Mount points with spaces in the name (such as "/media/LEXAR MEDIA") are stored with spaces encoded within /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts (i.e., as /media/LEXAR\040MEDIA). eject simply extracts this mountpoint and passes it to pumount/pmount without decoding these characters. As such, it becomes equivalent to executing "pumount /media/LEXAR\040MEDIA" which will fail. I've attached a patch - this was taken out of debian's patch set for eject.

Reopen wrt Bug 166825
Relevant information from closed bug (thanks for re-opening Jakub): The patch does not resolve the problem in my opinion. De-mangling of the mount points must be done *before* the strcmp(), not afterwards. Additionally, I would suggest testing for "\0nn" when looking for an octal number rather than testing for "\nnn". Suggested patch: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=110163&action=view
It looks like this bug is still around... just encountered it today. The patch (http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=110163&action=view) mentioned by Jan seems to fix it for me.
So what's the status on this one? This bug is still here, 6 years after reporting.
(In reply to comment #10) > So what's the status on this one? This bug is still here, 6 years after > reporting. The status might be changed or chaging since eject moved to be part of sys-apps/util-linux starting from version >= 2.22 Trying to fix sys-apps/eject is a lost cause at this point, but if you can verify the bug in util-linux's version of eject, then we have chances of getting this fixed...

Try to build a stable or ~arch version and not > -9999 I agree, this bug should not be for resolving building errors with util-linux. Separate bug, forums or IRC might be better suitable for such. But I did ask him to test version above 2.22 :-)

eject in util-linux seems to work fine for me sudo mount /dev/cdrom '/media/a b' sudo ./eject '/media/a b' <works> strace shows: umount("/media/a b", 0) = 0
