There may be other problems, but this one suggests that something,
probably automount, is grabbing the device. Make sure you have closed
any file manager windows, and if a device icon has come onto the desktop,
use it to umount the device.
Thanks Anne, doing a umount on /dev/hdd solved the problem.
This is weird though - shouldn't Fedora automagically do this thing for us?

I don't recall ever having to do a manual umount on my burner device
whenever I had to to erase rewriteable media on a RHEL-clone like
CentOS.
I'm not exactly sure of the cause, but I have met this from time to time over
the last couple of years. I suspect that the fast-changing scene of
auto-mounting is responsible. ISTR that it happened at some stages in
Mandriva, then disappeared at others.
It's the way my machine works, and umount is what I've had to
do. I use FC2.

You have found the bank of Larn.
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!
