= If that doesn't work, try the CDIOCEJECT ioctl.
= If that didn't work, give up.
It is available as a port at: http://www.nectar.com/freebsd/neject.tar
Included in the port distfile is a patch (umount.patch) that adds a `-e'
option to umount. If you use it, then umount
We've had a CDIOCEJECT ioctl `forever'. Several drivers support
it, such as cd, acd, and wfd. However, there are other drivers
that support removable media but do not support CDIOCEJECT: da
and sa.
Likewise we have CDIOCCLOSE which should cause a device to load
its media.
I want to add these

For what it's worth, there's a port, ports/sysutils/eject, which is made
to do this. I'm not one to deny a simple
Hmm. If SCSI drives are anything like ATAPI drives (and here I confess I
haven't checked), the first I/O after the eject button is pressed will
come back with a marker (eg. check condition) with sense information that
indicates that a user eject was requested.

What's special about mounted devices? I'd prefer to see an eject command
which attempts to unmount the device if it's mounted.

That's a cool idea, but unfortunately, it won't work with any hardware I

In order for that to work, the CDROM drive would have to generate an AEN

SGIs and SUNs use an 'eject' command for CDs and DAT tapes.
Here are the manpages for comparison:
