Sure, but the PCMCIA infrastructure doesn't make the same
presumption that the SCSI or ATAPI infrastructure does. The
assumption in question here is that when the kernel tells the drive
to lock its door, it does. If you have a file system from a drive
mounted, pushing the button on the drive should do *nothing*, since
the drive lock should be engaged. Unless your CD-ROM device (or our
device driver, don't rule that out) isn't locking properly.

Not that this is a viable excuse for having an un-unmountable file
system, which is why I presented it with a smiley the first time
around.
