Re: 2.6.0, cdrom still showing directories after being erased

[Tomas Zvala <tomas@zvala.cz>]

Hi,
I believe he meant to write he umounted it.
The problem is that there is still some data left in CDRW's cache and it 
needs to be emptied. That happens when CDRW is ejected and reinserted 
(that is why windows burning software ie. Nero wants to eject the CDR/RW 
when it gets written or erased).
Maybe kernel could flush the buffers/caches or whatever is there when 
CDROM gets mounted. But im afraid about compatibility with broken drives 
such as LG.
