Hi, 

sorry for such a vague subject.

Hi, 

I can't use eject to eject my cdrom. When issued (even as root), I get:

eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

How can I fix it? 

My info:

eject: eject_2.0.13deb-7

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 Aug 18 12:17 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0

$ uname -r
2.4.25-1-386

debian testing.

After searching the archive, someone said fuser shows the cdrom device is
used, but my case is that I just pop in the cd, and the next action is
eject, even this, it won't pop out. 

fuser /dev/cdrom
fuser /mnt/cdrom 
fuser /mnt

all show nothing. 

please help.
