cdrom won't unmount!
i'm well-versed in the act of mounting and unmounting media on a linux box, but i installed slack 9.1 last night and i can't eject this cdrom in my drive. i'm quite sure i've stopped all processes that access the cdrom and made sure to NOT be in the FS i'm unmounting. then i type "#eject /mnt/dvdrom" and it refuses to cooperate. here are the outputs i got:
(it starts w/ /dev/hdc="dvdrom device" mounted at /mnt/dvdrom) root@chimaera:/# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 995864 304088 640372 33% / /dev/hda3 4964188 1453496 3254456 31% /usr /dev/hda4 68238912 167620 64549044 1% /home /dev/hdc 640224 640224 0 100% /mnt/dvdrom root@chimaera:/# eject /mnt/dvdrom/ eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument root@chimaera:/# eject -r -v /mnt/dvdrom/ eject: device name is `/mnt/dvdrom' eject: expanded name is `/mnt/dvdrom' eject: `/mnt/dvdrom' is not mounted eject: `/dev/hdc' can be mounted at `/mnt/dvdrom' eject: `/dev/hdc' is a multipartition device eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using CD-ROM eject command eject: CD-ROM eject command failed eject: unable to eject, last error: Device or resource busy root@chimaera:/# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 995864 304088 640372 33% / /dev/hda3 4964188 1453496 3254456 31% /usr /dev/hda4 68238912 167620 64549044 1% /home so you'll notice that it did unmount the cdrom after the eject command was issued, but it refuses to eject. anybody got suggestions? i tried to "#umount -f /mnt/dvdrom" and "#umount -l /mnt/dvdrom" to no avail. thx for reading, y-p |
/mnt/dvdrom is a directory
I know it's supposed to work but indulge me. try eject /dev/hdc if that doesn't work try lsof | grep dvdrom |
no dice on either of those:
root@chimaera:/# mount /mnt/dvdrom/ root@chimaera:/# eject /dev/hdc eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument root@chimaera:/# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 995864 303696 640764 33% / /dev/hda3 4964188 1453496 3254456 31% /usr /dev/hda4 68238912 167756 64548908 1% /home root@chimaera:/# mount /mnt/dvdrom/ root@chimaera:/# eject -r -v /dev/hdc eject: device name is `/dev/hdc' eject: expanded name is `/dev/hdc' eject: `/dev/hdc' is mounted at `/mnt/dvdrom' eject: unmounting `/dev/hdc' eject: `/dev/hdc' is a multipartition device eject: trying to eject `/dev/hdc' using CD-ROM eject command eject: CD-ROM eject command failed eject: unable to eject, last error: Device or resource busy and root@chimaera:/# lsof | grep dvdrom root@chimaera:/# lsof | grep hdc root@chimaera:/# lsof | grep mnt damn, this is odd. i've never such a fritz-out with this thing. thx for the suggestions, logic |
