Description of problem:
When I try use any cd burner like xcdroast (or gtoaster), I get the following
error message.

Error trying to open /dev/scd0 exclusively ... retrying in 1 second.

I know that this means that other programs are using the Drive, but this is not
the case as no other program is using it. I ran fuser and I got:

[root@localhost root]# /sbin/fuser -av /dev/scd0
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/scd0

I using RedHat 9.0 and kernel 2.4.20-8

Regards,
Emad

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
