Every so often Fedora stops letting me eject CDs:

$ eject /dev/cdrom
$ eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument

Why does this happen? I've seen both on my desktop as well as my laptop, and I saw it under FC3 and well as FC4. Nothing seems to solve it except straightening out a paperclip and ejecting the disk manually and rebooting. As far as HCI design goes, it is a worthless error message.


I posted this a couple of days ago but no response. Doesn't *anyone* have any idea what is going on? I keep getting it on a random basis with both my CD and DVD drives. lsof doesn't reveal any open files. What could it be? It is driving me nuts.

TIA
