Step A: Ensure that the current directory is not somewhere in the CD:
% cd %eject cdrom |
Step B: As root:
# cd /etc/init.d # ./volmgt stop # eject cdrom |
# ./volmgt start |
Step C: As root:
# fuser /cdrom |
# ./volmgt stop # ps -ef | grep vold |
# eject cdrom |
# cd /vol |
Step D: The last three options are:
Reboot.
If the CD drive is external to the system, try power cycling the drive and pressing the eject button.
If all else fails and the CD-ROM is external, on the right hand side of the eject button is a small hole into which you can insert a small straight device which forces manual ejection of the caddy.
