drive.
The other day I mounted and read data from a data DVD.
Now I can't rip, write or mount CD's anymore.
What you describe looks like somebody lost track of the
"process using device count". It thinks that there is
a process whose working directory is on that disc, or that
some process has the disc open. I have noticed (FC2) a
tendency in this direction. AFAICT, it requires a reboot
to free that up.
I'm careful not to kill xterms (or gnome-terms) by clicking
on the [X] in the right hand corner any more, as this can
certainly (again, FC2) result in what you experience. It's
frustrating not being able to remove a floppy disc. I have
a pretty active sneakernet here, and have learned the hard
way.
YMMV

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
