Re: [Sheflug] ejecting mounted cdroms...

[Guennadi Liakhovetski <nospam [at] ragingbull.com>]

Hi again, Baz, Alex and all

Looks like Alex refutes Barrie's suggestion (?). I tried with 2.2.18 and
2.4.0 - both allow. Although you can get some errors in /var/log/messages
if, say, you try accessing the CD with an open tray. SuSE7.0. I used 6.3
before, could it have changed with the distro? (same kernels) What distros
are you using? However, don't remember exactly that I was unable to do
this with 6.3 - I just assumed so and never tried... There is a macro in
the ide-cd.c NO_DOOR_LOCKING - you have to #define it to 1 to get my sort
of behaviour - I didn't do it. It tests #if NO_DOOR_LOCKING. There are
also lines in ide-cd.h:

#ifndef NO_DOOR_LOCKING
#define NO_DOOR_LOCKING 0
#endif

???

Thanks
Guennadi
