if you press the eject-button on your floppy drive, does it work?

Could you please try eject-2.0.13-15.1. It's available on
ftp://people.redhat.com/than/fc4

Thanks

Comment 2 David Balažic 2005-06-16 07:37:41 UTC

Yes, unless the drive is locked by OS (when it is mounted).

Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2005-08-23 14:07:12 UTC

Surely this is incorrect:

+	if ((ioctl(fd, SG_GET_VERSION_NUM, &k) < 0) || (k < 30000)) {
+	  printf("not an sg device, or old sg driver\n");
+	  return 0;
+	}

Either it has to be an fprintf(stderr, foo), or if(v_option) printf().
I suggest the second form, because this is how the user would get
the actual device name, and the diagnostic has no meaning without
knowing that, due to the complicated discovery eject performs.

See also bug 154955.

Comment 4 Than Ngo 2005-08-23 17:29:26 UTC

David, i suppose the eject-2.0.13-15.1 has already fixed the problem.

if it's the case, i will do FC4 update for this.

ok, it seems a bug in ide-floppy driver, please take a look at
