Hi all,
Sometimes I have a CD/DVD go bad etc and it will not come out of the CD reader. As root I try the eject command and it will not work saying that the CD is busy. So far I've ended up rebooting to get the !"§$ CD out. Is there a way to force the eject command to work without rebooting?
Many drives have a small hole, where you can insert a piece of stiff wire, to force an eject.
They sell those stiff wires in a nice convenient bent over shape. You just unbend it and stick in the hole with a little bit of force. They can even multi-task as paperclips, but I rarely use them for that.
