RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sibiao Luo 2012-07-25 03:21:50 UTC
Description of problem:
boot a rhel6.3 guest with host CD-ROM SCSI pass-through and popup it via 'eject -r /dev/sr0' always fail and prompt some Input/output error. 
if i use 'eject -s /dev/sr0' or 'eject /dev/sr0' to test, they all work correctly without any error. 
i also test the three commands on my host with physical CD-ROM, they all work correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-284.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.x86_64
guest info:
rhel6.3.5.31.0_x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot a guest with a CD-ROM SCSI passthrough.
e.g. # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.3.0 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1 -m 2G -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -name sluo-test -drive file=/home/rhel6.3.5.31.0.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk-0,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk-0,id=virtio0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,id=netdev0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=netdev0,id=device-net0 -spice port=5931,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -monitor stdio -boot menu=on -nodefconfig -nodefaults -drive file=/dev/sr0,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-scsi-sluo,format=raw,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi -device scsi-block,drive=drive-scsi-sluo,id=scsi_sluo
2.# ls -l /dev/cdrom1 
  lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 Jul 23 19:39 /dev/cdrom1 -> sr0
  # ls -l /dev/sr0 
  brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jul 23 19:39 /dev/sr0
3.repeat popup and drop-in the CD-ROM SCSI passthrough device for some times.
# eject -r /dev/sr0 
# eject -t /dev/sr0
  
Actual results:
after the step 3, it always fail to popup and prompt some 'Input/output error'.
# eject -r /dev/sr0 
eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error

Expected results:
it should popup the CD-ROM correctly without any error.

Comment 2 Paolo Bonzini 2012-07-25 11:54:37 UTC
"eject -r" can fail if (for example) the CD-ROM is locked.  This can also happen on bare-metal, it depends on your configuration.
