From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: when executing eject on /dev/cdrom, the disk fails to eject, giving error message "eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument". When executed as root, same error message, but drive opens. This happens regardless of whether the disk is mounted or not (if data) or playing or not (if music). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eject-2.10.13-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Type 'eject /dev/cdrom' at command prompt Actual Results: Drive door remains closed; error message given above in description is printed. Expected Results: Drive door should open and eject disk, with no error message printed. Additional info: Output of 'eject -v /dev/cdrom': eject: device name is `/dev/cdrom' eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom' eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/scd0' eject: `/dev/scd0' is not mounted eject: `/dev/scd0' is not a mount point eject: `/dev/scd0' is not a multipartition device eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using CD-ROM eject command eject: CD-ROM eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using SCSI commands eject: SCSI eject failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using floppy eject command eject: floppy eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd0' using tape offline command eject: tape offline command failed eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument When same commmand is given as root, there is a pause of about two seconds before printing the line 'eject: SCSI eject failed', and it is at this point that the disk is ejected (but the errors are still printed). The permissions on /dev/scd0 are brw------- 1 jwillis disk so the normal user (jwillis) should have read/write permission to the disk. Drive is a TEAC SCSI CD-ROM, CD-532S, Rev 1.0A One other note: the content of /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock is '1', irrespective of whether there's a disk in the drive or not, the drive is mounted or not (or playing if music) or even if the drive is open. I'm not knowlegeable enough to know what this file is supposed to do, but I would have thought it should change depending on the status of the drive. But perhaps not and this has nothing to do with the problem.
