There's still the quirky problem of forcing a locked tray out. In some
cases this is what you want, if things get stuck for some reason or
another. But usually the tray is locked for a good reason, because there
are active users of the device.
Say two processes has the cdrom open, one of them doing io (maybe even
writing!), the other could do a CDROMEJECT now and force the ejection of
a busy drive.
I think the whole area of permissions for locking the tray and doing
eject need rethinking. I won't rehash what I have said before, that if I
have write permission growisofs should be able to lock the tray.
