[ale] unable to eject cdrom

[John Wells]

Suddenly, under Red Hat 8.0 my cd drive will not eject.  I unmount in and
hit the button, nothing.  fuser -m says nothing seems to be using it.  A
"eject -r -v" returns the following:

-)eject -r -v
eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is a link to `/dev/hdc'
eject: `/dev/hdc' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/hdc' is not a mount point
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


Only way to eject is to reboot.  Anyone know what might be going on?

Thanks,

John
