cdrom drive

[bozey00]

No matter what I do, I cannot get the Solaris 8 cd to eject from my cdrom drive. It will not eject manually, nor by the eject command. I've used the pathname as well, but still no luck. This is probably so SIMPLE!!! Please help.

Have u umounted the file system mounted from that CDROM ? if not unmount the filesystem and then try.

are you using the automounter to work with the cdrom?

if you are you don't need to worry about unmounting it.

however you do need to make sure that no processes are using the mount point.

ie. in a csh:

cd /cdrom/cdrom0
eject cdrom

will not work because you are using the cdrom.

if you are running a program from the cdrom, then the cdrom will also not eject.

likewise if you are sharing the cdrom, of have it mounted elsewhere then you also can't eject the cdrom.
