With my USB stick I see the following behaviour: As normal user (with write access to the device file): CDROM eject RDONLY works CDROM eject RDWR works SCSI eject RDONLY doesn't work SCSI eject RDWR works As root: same but SCSI eject RDONLY also works So I guess at least for the SCSI eject we still need RDWR in some cases (I suspect the normal user is missing some capability there) Gruesse, -- Frank Lichtenheld <dj...@debian.org> www: http://www.djpig.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
