Im not using scsi emulation when I boot. Basically I am using default FC3 settings. I cannot eject certain kinds of cds as a regular user. Please note that as root I am able to use eject in order to open up either my cdrom or dvd drive. However as a normal user I cannot do this. It seems to be related to "enhanced cds," but I cannot limit the problem to that type alone simply because I haven't tested other possibilities. So I put the cd in as a regular user. Then my LOTR "enhanced cd" causes a little window to pop up and ask me if I want to mount the drive or play the drive since it contains more than one type of file (music and other media, I suppose). Actually choosing play or cancel seems best. It appears that I cannot mount the cd. I get the following error: /dev/hdc: Input/output error mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only /dev/hdc: Input/output error mount: /dev/hdc: can't read superblock Now eject -v /dev/hdd gives me the following output: eject: device name is `/dev/hdd' eject: expanded name is `/dev/hdd' eject: `/dev/hdd' is not mounted eject: `/dev/hdd' is not a mount point eject: `/dev/hdd' is a multipartition device eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdd' using CD-ROM eject command eject: CD-ROM eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdd' using SCSI commands eject: SCSI eject failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdd' using floppy eject command eject: floppy eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdd' using tape offline command eject: tape offline command failed eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument Again I can use eject as root user to open up the dvd drive. Otherwise I have to reboot to get my cd out :-( Interestingly enough, using eject as root gives me: eject: device name is `/dev/hdd' eject: expanded name is `/dev/hdd' eject: `/dev/hdd' is not mounted eject: `/dev/hdd' is not a mount point eject: `/dev/hdd' is a multipartition device eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdd' using CD-ROM eject command eject: CD-ROM eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdd' using SCSI commands eject: SCSI eject failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdd' using floppy eject command eject: floppy eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdd' using tape offline command eject: tape offline command failed eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument ...but I CAN eject the cd. So I find all of this rather weird. -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org
