Subject: eject merged into util-linux
Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2012 16:30:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120405143032.GC20515@x2.net.home> (raw)
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.
Karel
