[Bug 875543] Re: can't eject cd rom : Inappropriate ioctl for device

[James]

I can confirm this issue with ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have a standard cd rom
drive (no burner or dvd). I had also seen this issue with the previous
LTS release of ubuntu. The drive seems to eject fine until it completes
its initial intialization. I have ejected the tray serveral times, until
it will not eject anymore and it seems to stop ejecting after the light
stops blinking on the drive. After login i try the eject command and get
the unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device error. I
can force the drive trat open, insert a disk (gparted livecd), close the
tray with the button as normal, the system opens the disk fine. With the
disk in the closed tray the eject command returns no error,remove the
disk and close the tray and the issue returns including the the eject
command errors. Any additional data needed let me know.
