/usr/bin/cdrecord: Device or resource busy. Cannot open '/dev/hdd'. Cannot open SCSI driver. Seems like it is still mounted.. :) (Maybe automounted on insert) Shouldn't this be filed against cdrecord or kernel depending on the nature of the bug. Also see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179862 no... David... totally different... dupes ? bug 184251 bug 186214 I see the same issue. The CD RW is automounted since it already has data on it:
you want to erase and reuse the disk. The workaround for me is to manually
umount via a terminal: this is not a user thing to be doing.
There used to be a thing called ~"user mount tools" that you could unmount stuff
with, I doesn't seem to be installed / no longer packaged ?. Also there is an
options tool for removable media where you could disable automount - but this is
not what you want either.
So the question is where should this issue be addressed ?
- gnome's automount - there is an icon on the desktop, right clicking in this
incarnation (was OK FC4 I think - unmount) provides an eject option; but this
ejects the disc, at which point you can't erase it. Re-inserting causes the
automount. Enough to drive sane people over the wall ;-)
A solution would be for the automounted CD's context menu to provide an Unmount
command. simple/obvious (if the desktop is visible), does not require users to
do command line hacks.
- k3b - is it up to k3b to forcefully unmount the CD-RW so that erase / write
process can begin (or at least list exactly what is holding it from unmounting
the disk so that erase can start). It probably needs better interpretation of
error codes received to state to user how to fix the problem, rather than
failing (a bad impression). And a button to instruct k3b to "really" unmount it
(no matter what), when the error occurs.
- is it up2 the cdrecord tools to unmount it ?
[no workarounds - only permanent user usable solutions]
from fedora-test-list:
...
gnome-umount -d /dev/cdrw
...
using either K3b or XCD-Roast
...

Gnome does the right thing and unmounts the volume before trying to blank it.
Was k3b being used from the Gnome desktop, or the KDE desktop? Perhaps k3b
doesn't do the right thing when used from a Gnome desktop.
Fedora Core 4 is no longer maintained. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the corresponding Fedora version. |
