Note well that it is about device files, not data files.
I documented our defeat:
  http://libburnia-project.org/browser/libburn/trunk/doc/ddlp.txt

My current advise is to pull in the tray manually
and to wait several seconds after any blinking ended.
I.e. after the drive, hald, udev, and whatever have satisfied
their curiosity.
Only then one should start a burn run on CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD-R, and unformatted DVD-RW.

To my luck i use mainly DVD+RW and BD-RE. Burn runs
on these media tolerate stray SCSI commands from other
processes, as long as they do not alter the medium
content.


Have a nice day :)
