adapt unmounting permissions to what is better for a home OS  
Written by vexorian the 30 Oct 08 at 13:17. New
What now happens:
User A:
- Open ubuntu.
- Insert DVD
- Play some video.
- Close sesion.
- Leave DVD in tray

User B:
- Notice DVD is in tray.
- Try to eject.
- "Can't unmount cdrom1 because it belongs to userA"

If user B is used to silly stuff:
- $ sudo eject
- input password

If user B is normal:
- Restart computer, format ubuntu partition so windows has more space.

Hidden Volumes (Plausible Deniability)  
Written by envygeeks the 13 Aug 09 at 14:17. New
Add hidden volumes with two+ Ubuntu installs allowing for plausible deniability. The idea of encryption is to protect your assets, while encryption can do this on it's own, you are not protected in the slightest way from Extortion or other entities that might request your key leaving you no option. The idea is the create a hidden volume layout (which has been demonstrated by TruCrypt) http://www.truecrypt.org/images/docs/hidden-volume.gif with two seperate Ubuntu installs and two seperate keys allowing for plausible deniability as well as basic protection. Both would be encrypted, neither would be distinguishable because of random data fill.
