Hi, Firstly, could anyone please tell me what's the philosophy behind 'locking' the CD-ROM tray when a CD has been mounted. Why can't I eject a mounted CD? Additionally, is there some way with which I may eject mounted CDs?
Secondly, when the kernel encouters an I/O error while accessing a scratched CD, when does it give up? Why does it keep trying to access the scratched portion again & again, thus effectively hanging the process which initiated the read. Even when the initiating process is killed, the kernel keeps trying to access the CD drive. Thus, one can't unmount the CD cuz it's supposedly busy, and one can't eject the CD cuz it's mounted. The only solution being a reboot.
