I use the CDRW to burn backup files every night via cron, so driving to the= machine (45 min away) and cycling the drive is not feasible. Further, this= was never an issue with 4.x releases, and if I'm not mistaken, 5.1 either.= I think this started somewhere with 5.2 and beyond. >You first have to unmount the cdrom before you can mount >a new cd, you can do that by typing: >umount /cdrom Normally it's not in a mounted state after burning, as best I recall. But= I've tried that several times anyway, to no avail. Thanks for the= suggestion. >Looks like bug. Submit problem report on it, is only way it will be >looked at and fixed by 5.x development team. This is possible, I guess. Makes since, as this problem cropped up after= upgrading. I could be wrong, but it seems that since mount does not do= anything different from the point just before reboot and just after= reboot, perhaps it's more likely the burncd command not "releasing" the= cdrw drive properly, or something like that...
