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?
Thanks,

Not clear whether this is when burning or when reading, and which applications you are having a problem with.
If it is a data CD try manually unmounting before ejecting.
Use ps to find the process and kill it. Cannot really give info on what to look for without further details.
And don't forget the handy lsof command, particularly combined with grepping where the CD has been mounted... Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
