Hello, I inserted a DVD disc in to an extern DVD reader and now I am not able to eject it.
The reader is a NEC external USB DVD reader/writer. It was working perfectly till a few days ago and seems like an upgrade messed something up. The disc in it is a re-writable DVD with some avi files on it and the disc plays properly on a stand alone DVD player. At present, there is an icon on my desktop called CDROM (wonder why it doesn't say DVDROM?) and as far as I can see no application is using the disc. The device, /dev/scd0, is mounted on /media/CDROM. Further, the device is not being used: $> lsof | grep -i cdr $> lsof | grep -i scd0 Trying to unmount or eject gives an error: Unfortunately, the device system:/media/scd0 (/dev/scd0) named 'CDROM' and currently mounted at /media/CDROM could not be unmounted. Unmounting failed due to the following error: Device is Busy: Trying to forcefully unmount also does not work: $> sudo umount -f /media/CDROM/ umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /media/CDROM: device is busy umount2: Device or resource busy umount: /media/CDROM: device is busy And I have this process running: > ps uax | grep scd0 root 11717 0.0 0.0 3364 1116 ? S 10:41 0:01 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/scd0 (every 2 sec) Nothing relevant appears to be syslog. So those are all the clues I have so far. What could be the problem?
