What model.. is it an ATAPI cdrom drive, or does it plug into a
soundcard or special card? I remember with my old Matsushita 2x drive,
it would occasionally lock up.. this may be due to the state of the
drivers for it.
If the problem is that the mounted filesystem is being used, try
fuser(1) to see what processes are using it:
# fuser -vm /mnt/cdrom
some process list
# fuser -v /dev/cdrom
some processes again
The -m flag tells fuser that it is looking at a mounted filesystem, not
a device.
If you are feeling particularly menacing, use the -k flag, which will
send a SIGTERM to each process using the device. Or a SIGKILL, I forget
which... read the manpage for more ;)
