From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) After mounting a zip drive the disk doesn't get locked in the drive, I can eject it without unmounting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert zip disk in drive 2. mount it 3. press eject Actual Results: The disk pops out. Expected Results: The disk should of stayed inside until unmount.
Can you try disabling "magicdev" and/or "autorun" in the Control Center? This program tends to cause this kind of behavior.
Both magicdev and autorun are disabled. I forgot to mention that the drive is a zip 100 plus connected to a ISA Iomega Zoom SCSI card.
The same goes for the paralell port Zip-drive with ppa-module

For me, kernel 2.4.3-12 from updates.redhat.com fixes this problem.
