http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11602 ------- Comment #5 from bbpetkov@xxxxxxxx 2008-09-21 21:42 ------- I don't think that the drive is reporting a wrong mechtype - it still _is_ equipped with a tray loading mechanism, it simply cannot close its tray by itself and needs user help :). Also, there's AFAIK no bit in the cdrom capabilities page returned by the drive which will tell you whether the drive can close itself - there's only a bit saying that the drive can eject the media via an ATAPI command. The only solution, AFAICT, would be an artificial one: either a list of drive model names which cannot close their tray (ugly :( and generally frowned upon) or trying to lock the door and read sense data (hm, unreliable, overkill?). The wrongly reported "Can close tray" is based on the assumption that if the drive isn't caddy or popup loader then it can close its tray automatically as is the case with the gazillion drives out there with a tray loading mechanism. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
