CD-drive blocked after successless mounting
Hello, debian-users! I have two CD-drives: one for regular use and one for additional writing. I have been experiencing problems, when I tried to read burned CDs in the regular drive - well, that wouldn't matter much to me, but I wanted to try it out anyway. Here is what happened: $ mount /cdrom [... lots of error messages ...] mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified So I pressed the eject key but it was blocked. I typed 'umount /cdrom' but it told me that cdrom was not mounted. So I was left with the CD stuck in the wrong drive, which was neither mounted nor unmounted... Of course a reboot would always help me out, but is there another way to unlock a CD-drive? If anyone knows one, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Andreas.

Try /usr/bin/eject /cdrom or /dev/hd?. On Mon, 16 Oct 2000 18:47:23 +0200, Andreas Hetzmannseder said: Hello, debian-users! I have two CD-drives: one for regular use and one for additional writing.

For this purpose I created AH /etc/shutdown.allow with the corresponding user names. Now when I press AH Ctrl-Alt-Del the system will reboot as expected - although I have to be AH logged in as a qualified user, according to shutdown.allow. When you press Ctrl+Alt+Del, init(1) gets it and executes reboot sequence, afaik. So, the only right way in this situation is to disable Ctrl+Alt+Del at all. Sorry, Ivan, I didn't make this very clear. I *do* want to use Ctrl-Alt-Del. I just wanted to point out that it is behaving differently, since I have '/etc/shutdown.allow'. Now I have to be logged in at least as a normal user - that wasn't the case before... AH [...] However when I attempt to type 'shutdown -a -r now' or AH 'shutdown -a -h now' by myself, it says 'shutdown: command not found'. AH I still have to be root in this case. Add /usr/sbin into your path with: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin in BASH, if I'm not mistaken. :) Actually 'shutdown' is in /sbin - so I added /sbin to my path... Everything should work. Now when I type 'shutdown -a -h now' it still tells me, I have to be root. It looks like I have to set a SUID-flag. But I would prefer a better solution. Otherwise: What would 'shutdown.allow' bX-MoX-Mozilla-Status: 0009ery much, anyway. Best regards, Andreas.
