Description of problem:
When ripping my cd collection I came across a problem where eject
would refuse to eject a certain CD, namely Metallica's St. Anger album.  

eject -v gives:

eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/hdc'
eject: `/dev/hdc' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/hdc' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/hdc' is a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using floppy eject command
eject: floppy eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using tape offline command
eject: tape offline command failed
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eject-2.0.13-13

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rip cd
2. eject    

Actual Results:  eject error message above

Expected Results:  succesful eject

Additional info:

running on a 14-12-04 Development system
Comment 1 David Nielsen 2004-12-14 15:33:49 UTC 
it seems that happens on every cd marked "Enhanced CD", which I take
means that it's a mixed mode cd.

So far: Slipknot "Vol 3: The subliminal verses" and Alanis Morissette
"Under Rug swept" also displayed this behavior.

Requiring a reboot to eject the CD isn't exactly optimal.

if you press the eject button on your cdrom, does it work?
Comment 3 David Nielsen 2004-12-14 16:14:24 UTC 
No the drive is locked as if mounted.
Comment 4 Than Ngo 2004-12-14 17:12:04 UTC 
can you umount your cdrom?

if umount does not work, i assume that some running process still
opens the cdrom devices in this case. Please try to kill all this process
Comment 5 David Nielsen 2004-12-14 17:35:05 UTC 
Well the trick is that it isn't mounted, and trying to mount it gives
this:

/dev/hdc: Input/output error
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/hdc
       I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or
/proc/filesystems
Trying vfat
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdc: Input/output error
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/hdc
       I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or
/proc/filesystems
Trying vfat
mount: /dev/hdc: can't read superblock

killing gnome-volume-manager (which I assume is to blame for mounting
such things) yields no improvement.

This is still an issue as of 01-01-05, and a quite annoying one at that.

This bug isn't solely a Fedora problem btw. so there might be extra
input to be had on the issue.
