Bug Description
Binary package hint: eject
I had a DVD+RW inserted that I unmounted and mounted several times (as bug data collection for another bug).
After that right clicked the DVD icon in Places/Computer as selected to blank it.
Then I tried to burn an iso image to it, but brasero complained there is no space in the blank DVD...
So I decided to do the old trick of eject-and-reinsert, but I can't eject it.
The hardware eject button has no effect.
In the GUI, the context menu has no Eject item.
cmd line gives:
$ sudo eject -v /dev/sr0
eject: device name is `/dev/sr0'
eject: expanded name is `/dev/sr0'
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a mount point
eject: `/dev/sr0' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject succeeded
But is does not eject.
The drive is:
ata5.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-L632D, HH15, max MWDMA2

After several minutes I got this line in dmesg:

And half a minute later the DVD ejected.
