Hi!
I was very excited about this possibility, so I've decided to check it. And
here's what I got:
# eject /dev/pda
eject: CDROMEJECT ioctl failed for `/dev/pda': Invalid argument
eject /dev/pda1 produces the same result. What's wrong? I have eject version
1.5 and paride 0.94 running under Debian 2.0 with kernel 2.0.34.
Thanks a lot in advance!
