FreeBSD casantos 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #1: Fri Apr 25 03:02:38 BRT 2008 root@casantos:/share/FreeBSD/src/sys/i386/compile/HP_NX6320 i386
>Description:
I get "burncd: ioctl(CDIOCEJECT): Input/output error" each time I attempt to blank a CDRW with
burncd -f /dev/acd0 blank eject
I noticed that this does not happen when I write a data cd with
burncd -f /dev/acd0 data cd-image.iso fixate eject
I have seen the same bahavior on 4 different computers that have DVD-RW units. It seems that it is necessary to give some time to the writer in order to let it stabilize before attempting to eject the disk.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run "burncd -f /dev/acd0 blank eject" on a Compaq nx6320 notebook with FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE installed. I have seen the same problem on 6.x releases.
>Fix:
Applying the attached patch to /usr/src/usr.sbin/burncd/burncd.c solves the problem. It makes burncd attempt to eject the CD five times, sleeping for one second after each unccessful try.
