[Bug 397734] Re: can't eject unmounted cdrom with hardware button

[Martin Pitt]

Discussion result in upstream bug:

------------------------------
I think the kernel defaults should lock all used drives by default, and should
not be touched at bootup, and thhings like liveCD rootfs and similar setups
should not be unlocked by a global default setting.

I think we might want to unlock individual drives though, if our own services
have applied the policy and mounted a media. I expect:
  ioctl(fd, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 0);
would unlock only the single drive we are currently handling, and would not
touch other drives, or drives which have media which is mounted manually or by
a system-wide configuration.
