- the system i'm on just got a removable m-o drive. it's working fine
- except that from time to time one of the users will get a little
- impatient & pop the disk out before it's had a chance to be unmounted.
-
- my sysadmin tells me the drive has a software feature to lock the disk
- in the drive, which he could use to keep this from happening. can
- anyone help me find an sd ioctl that handles the lock/unlock
- functions? it's for a Pinnacle 660 meg magneto optical drive. we're
- using SunOS 4.1.2.
-
- please mail replies.
