eject merged into util-linux

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 The original eject project (at sourceforge.net) is inactive for more
 than 4 year. Unfortunately, the command is still used in mainstream
 Linux distributions (for example udisks depends on the eject
 functionality). Changes:

  * complete refactoring (the original code was real mess...)

  * merged patches from Fedora (auto-eject, manual-eject, close-tray
    list-speed and removable/hotpluggable-check patches)

  * removed support for incomplete paths (for example "eject foo" was
    interpreted as "eject /media/foo" or "eject /mnt/foo". The
    incomplete paths are supported for devices only (e.g. "eject sda").

    FOR MOUNTPOINT YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY COMPLETE PATH!

  * enabled by default (and added --disable-eject)

  * if a partition is specified, whole-disk device is used for eject
    ioctl(s), for example "eject /dev/sda1" is the same as "eject /dev/sda"


 Thanks to Michal Luscon for help.
