I know it's not the unix way, but is there any reason why this can't
be done? .. given that USB stick drives can be yanked out without the
machine exploding, why not CD/DVDs?
In recent years the only reasons why my Linux computer gets rebooted is:
1. Upgrade
2. Power failure
3. CD/DVD refuses to eject and someone needs it in a hurry :-)
Joe.
Actually, IIRC, windows (or the drive itself) locks the drive door too
under operation, but the lock is released, as soon as it's not in use...
Anyways, there are plenty automounting variants available that allows
this to work in one way or the other...
Hope this helps...
