It most likely should not, but you gotta fix all the broken ports first that rely on this behaviour, and wanna eject a CD while keeping a file descriptor open on it. If it weren't for this, i would probably have fixed this long ago. I'm afraid doing it right will require a control device (but a different one than rcd0.ctl), so you can tell: ``Well, even though i'm keeping this descriptor open, i don't wanna do data IO through it.'' This would also come handy to supress the useless `media not present' warnings once you've hit the eject button e.g. in workman. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
