Unfortunately it's a laptop | sort of drive because it's in a 1U server, so it won't close by | itself. | | I was wondering if there's any standard proces running on FreeBSD that | opens it; I haven't monitored it's behaviour closely because I don't | have permanent access to the box. | | There's no -eject option in any of my cdrecord cmds. | | I'm running FreeBSD 4.8 with a cd0: Slimtype COMBO LSC-24081M 3M35 | Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device. McAfee is installed (for MailScanner). | | I suppose it should be possible to lock the drive; the supportteam at | C&W where the box is hosted are getting a bit annoyed [they're | considering superglue at this point]. | | Any suggestions as to why it opens and how this could be prevented | [other than the Cable and Wireless-solution =:0] greatly appreciated! | | Cheers, | | Marko | | | ------------------------------ I had the similar prob. with my Creative IDE CDROM drive. It was due to improper power supply to CDROM. The connector attached to CDROM was faulty. I replaced SMPS and it solved my problem.
