I had a problem with burncd where I couldnt access the disk after burning. I couldnt eject or mount it. It required a reboot to get it. I couldnt solve it but I was able to work around it by using cdcontrol. See the man page for all options but breifly you can eject and then close the disk by cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 eject cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 close I cant remember exactly what I did but I am sure I just ejected by software then put back in and it worked fine. It was as if somehow something was holding onto the disk. I thought it was maybe my windows partition getting lonely.
