Description Gary Gatling 2005-12-14 19:10:41 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
Since upgrading some of my systems to WS4 I am no longer able to
eject IOMEGA zip 250 disks with eject. This worked for me fine under WS3.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eject-2.0.13-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.in a freshly installed and updated WS4 system with a zip disk drive type:

cat /etc/fstab | grep /media/zip

and the first field in the output will tell you what device the
zip drive is. For this example I"ll choose the behavior of a 
factory installed DELL GX270 which is intalled on /dev/hdb4

In a terminal window type:

eject /dev/hdb4              (or whatever your zip drive device name is)

2. In a terminal window type:

eject -v /dev/hdb4              (or whatever your zip drive device name is)


Actual Results:  I get this error:

eject: device name is `/dev/hdb4'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/hdb4'
eject: `/dev/hdb4' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/hdb4' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/hdb4' is a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdb4' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdb4' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdb4' using floppy eject command
eject: floppy eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdb4' using tape offline command
eject: tape offline command failed
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument


Expected Results:  On my WS3 system it just ejects the disk with that command. In WS3
it was the CD-ROM eject command which succeded. WS3 output:

eject -v /dev/hdb4
eject: device name is `/dev/hdb4'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/hdb4'
eject: `/dev/hdb4' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/hdb4' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/hdb4' is a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdb4' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command succeeded

Comment 1 Gary Gatling 2005-12-19 14:51:33 UTC

I should have mentioned that in WS3 the version was: eject-2.0.13-2
The WS4 component is version: eject-2.0.13-11

I got the version component in this bug wrong. sorry about that.

Comment 2 Zdenek Prikryl 2008-01-24 10:46:22 UTC

I looked into a changelog, but it seems, that there is no such change which
could lead to break functionality of eject. I could be a bug in a kernel module,
so what version of the kernel do you have?

Comment 3 Gary Gatling 2008-01-24 13:59:08 UTC

I'm sorry. I no longer have any systems with zip drives. Thanks for looking into
this but I guess you can close it since I can't reproduce any longer. sorry
about that.
