A related question: I would like to build a CD-Rom server based on Samba where
it is possible to swap CDs without mounting them by hand. The volume label
should appear automatically in Windows. Is this possible ?

Erwin,
I do this on my system. I have two each 7-disk changers on my Linux box
(attached using SCSI) with the appropriate driver configuration. All 14 CDs
are mounted under the Linux filesystem as sub-directories under a
root level directory named /cd-farm (i.e. /cd-farm/x) --- with this
configuration
the filesystem takes care of loading a CD when it is referenced through the
filesystem. SAMBA is configured so that each CD is offered as a share,
and I also export /cd-farm as a share. These show up under windows
browsing and I can mount them as disks or just treat them as resources
under a node (i.e. \\linux\x) ... It all works great. I have 3 WinDoze'95
boxes on the home ethernet and they can all access the 14 CDs.
