Problem Description
|
|
The Eject Button on my CD/DVD/REV drive won't function on my Linux system, even though no automount programs are running.
|
|
Cause
|
|
Disabling of the drive eject button when media is inserted is common on Linux systems.
|
|
Solution
|
|
To see if the kernel is doing this, log in as root and type:
sysctl dev.cdrom.lock
If the response is "1", you can permanently change it to "0" with the following steps.
1) edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add the following two lines:
# Disable CD/DVD/REV eject button lock when media inserted
dev.cdrom.lock=0
2) Reboot the server to have the change take effect.
