I sympathise with the initial reporter... yes, CD/DVD-drives can give
grief to the user in Linux, and I have faced this issue myself (hence
marking as confirmed). Ubuntu BTS (and most probably a number of others)
contain a few reports against particular programs (like Nautilus) that
sometimes prevent the ejection of a disc. Sometimes the command "eject"
won't work, but "sudo eject" will, sometimes you have to repeat the
"sudo eject" a few times, sometimes start by killing a stray process
that was left behind preventing the ejection etc. See also bug #66609.
"I shouldn't have to fight my CD-drive." ;-) Indeed, ejecting media,
especially read-only media, shouldn't be as hard as it sometimes seems
to be.
But how to tackle this issue, that's the difficult question...
