Just stumbled upon such a problem. I was installing an OS onto VM using host cdrom. Installation programm locked the drive and did not unlock it afterwards for some reason, so, executing eject on the host system yields "Inappropriate ioctl for device" error
sudo eject -i0 and then sudo eject resolved my issue. The drive bay opened automatically after last command - i hadn't to push the hw button to eject. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875543 Title: can't eject cd rom : Inappropriate ioctl for device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/875543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
