Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 08:52:30 -0400 From: Michael Shell <list1@...haelshell.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: CD/DVD-R eject after burn to sync/validate/update read cache and/or media flags We recently had a discussion on the cdrecord-support mailing list about the need to eject a CD/DVD-R after burning to be able to mount it. This has been a known issue under Linux for some time: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0705.0/0259.html http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9604.3/0377.html It is a more serious annoyance with laptop drives that cannot close their trays without the help of a human hand. Has this issue been fixed in recent kernels, and if so, does anyone know about what release the change was made? Also, is there an ioctl or other way to force the kernel/driver to invalidate the read cache or other stored data of a specific drive/media (not the system as a whole) without having to physically eject the media?
