Hi all,
Lo

Sometimes I have a CD/DVD go bad etc and it will not come out of the CD
reader. As root I try the eject command and it will not work saying that the
CD is busy. So far I've ended up rebooting to get the !"§$ CD out. Is there a
way to force the eject command to work without rebooting?
In this particular case, I try first to unmount the media and then to eject it.
You should also take a look at the output of ps. If you see a process that keeps on
your media, kill it.
Then if nothing at all works, I try to introduce a little needle in the small hole.
Generally it works but I dislike doing that...
