Well, I got it right, it's just that in my opinion you knew what you were doing. > It triggers the situation where I can then press the eject key > on the cdrom and really eject the cdrom. It would be interesting to see what exact ioctls/commands cdcontrol issues. ktrace+kdump can help with this. Assuming your drive is ATAPI (not SCSI) then if only CDIOCEJECT is issued then the drive should not become unlocked. >> I am talking about something else, disk is ejected even if my cat >> accidentally touches eject button and he is not smart enough to type any >> commands on console :-) Well, I don't have a cat, it's just a figure of >> speech. > > Nevertheless ejecting a mounted medium is wrong.

Well, I see your point and probably I would agree 80% with you :-) But this issue seems to be a little bit different from the issue that concerns me most (which I explained in another email). Someone could reply to your problem with that old joke: - Doctor, it hurts when I do this. - Then don't do it. There is not so simple an answer to my issue. -- Andriy Gapon
