Hi Whats the sory with trying to eject a cdrom, i press the eject button and one second later the cdrom closes again catching the bloody cd disc or my fingers, i remember this in 9.3 as well thats why i dumped it. Looks like Suse Linux 10.0 is no better unless there is some magic trick to eject a cd ?

How sure are you it is not your CD-ROM acting up? The only times I had this was with a faulty CD-ROM. I am yet to experience it on any of the 15 machines running SuSE 8.0 / 9.1 / 9.2 / 9.3 in my lab. Some of them have really old CD-ROMs (4X / 16X) and still have no problem. Albert -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

If you simply spit the CD out, but the OS is using it, the OS will ask
for it back. On some systems that's going to suck the disk back in.
You should, instead, request the OS to eject the disk:
$ eject cdrom
then the OS will unmount it (if it's not in use) and then spit it out
for you.

I have a machine that does that while running ... DOS/Windows/UNIX. Must be a "feature" of the CD-ROM firmware. On Thu, 20 Oct 2005, Mark Panen wrote:

My older Samsung does that when I forget to unmount before ejecting with the button. I've pretty much solved the problem by using the desktop icon to eject (Suse 9.3 Pro). That way I don't forget and get things caught in the drawer. John Perry

Not sure, but it could be that you (or another user or prog) is using the drive, that's to say for example you have cd'd into /media/cdrom (or whatever name your cd has been mounted with, as the new automounting / autoumounting system appears to mount with the volume name), have a Konq session running, etc. And I think Konq can sometimes be 'using' the cdrom in a strange way whereby it 'caches' a view of the drive even if you don't have a real, user-initiated session going. Search the archives on that, I think it was dealt with here. man fuser is probably your friend. If I'm not in the directory, the instruction 'eject cdrom' works fine here.

Thank you. I had (10.0) a CD that was "stuck", and this solved it. [I had previously done a 'umount', and had pressed the physical eject button.] But, after this "stuck" CD emerged (I have a carrier-less drive), it then took more than 20 additional seconds for the 'eject cdrom' command to finish so that the console prompt was shown again. [Ejecting a 'non-stuck" CD, the command finishes immediately.] Any ideas as to why the command took so long to finish? mikus
