Hello! I tried to impliment a cd detection by polling the cd-rom device every second. But i failed. The problem is that opening /dev/acd0c is always success even if the media is not inserted, even read() is sucessfull, it just read 0 bytes. I could use mount() call to try to mount cd9660, but that seems to be an overkill. Any idea how to detect media insertion reliably and properly?
