I have two terrible CD-ROMs and a lot of shady CDs. Sometimes I'll put
one in the drive and Linux will fail to read it properly. Sometimes
this means I just can't read the disk. Other times it means that the
damn drive light stays on and the disk stays mounted and "busy" until I
reboot the frickin PC.
Does anyone know how to remedy such a situation without a reboot?
