Re: [ilugd] Giving up on scratched CDs and ejecting mounted CDs
Because the VFS would be unhappy if mounted media suddenly disappeared from under it (and was potentially replaced with something different). That applies to all mounts, not just CDs. But doesn't the VFS already handle such situations with USB pen drives and to some extent with network file systems as well? --- Abhijit's Reply --- But doesn't the VFS already handle such situations with USB pen drives No. Hotplug handles such things, not the VFS, and that's a comparatively recent development. If you could write something that generated hotplug events when you closed or opened the CD tray, I suppose you could make it do the right thing. subfs takes a different approach, but has much the same effect.

Re: [ilugd] Giving up on scratched CDs and ejecting mounted CDs
# considering your cdrom is mounted somewhere on /mnt/cdrom lsof | grep cdrom kill -9 pid I've tried killing the process (say cp) but that doesn't solve the problem. I'll try this as well. But even this solution is a workaround! The CD driver should give up after some time and throw an error!
