All the combinations I could think of. I switched to the -a (active) as
it worked better. I had been using passive previously.
settrans -a /cdrom /hurd/isofs /dev/hd2 ---- mounted nicely.
settrans -ag [-fag] --- "Try 'settrans --help..'"
settrans -ag /cdrom ---- unmounted, drawer locked.
Followed by settrans -ag /dev/hd2 --- drawer unlocked.
Followed by settrans -a /cdrom /hurd/isofs /dev/hd2 ---- mounted
Followed by settrans -ag /dev/hd2 --- Device busy
Followed by settrans -ag /cdrom ---- unmounted, drawer locked.
Followed by settrans -ag /dev/hd2 --- drawer unlocked.
etc etc.
Using the -f option the results were the same except that "-fag /dev/hd2"
would work before "-fag /cdrom". However, both still had to be used
before the drawer would unlock.
With passive translators /dev/hd2 had to be rebuilt before the CD could be
remounted.
