1. 'sudo eject /dev/sr0'
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

2. 'file /dev/sr0'
/dev/sr0: block special

3. 'sudo eject -i off'
CD-Drive may be ejected with device button

no joy

File manager shows blank DVD is still blank.

'sudo growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw=/stuff/mint-mate-64.iso'
:-( unable to INQUIRY: Input/output error

Can neither eject blank disc nor burn blank disc [using actual-cdrtools and not borked debian fork].

I would rather NOT need to power cycle the workstation to merely eject a disc. This feels like microsoft masochism. :|
