Thanks, but its more subtle than that. Its a process somewhere holding a file open on the cdrom. I'm looking in /proc to see if there is anything helpful in there . Peter. On 22-Feb-00 Togan Muftuoglu wrote:

lsof will tell you who is accessing what device.

Togan,

Indeed that is usually the answer. Peter does raise a bigger question, even if you gave him the answer he sought. Is there a way to view information about who/what is accessing a resource such as a mounted fs? I don't know if there is, but it sure sounds handy if such a thing exists.

`fuser -m /cdrom' will show you the pids of processes that access your cdrom. `fuser -k -m /cdrom' will kill them.

I was having similar problems a while back - I was running kscd, although I didn't realise it. (It was minimised to the 'taskbar' in KDE, which I had 'retracted'.) If you're running KDE, check to see if kscd is running.
