Using CentOS 5.5 x86_64.
I am trying to install software that comes on two discs. I can start the install just fine, but when it comes to taking out the first disc and putting in the second, the system won't let me eject it.
you typically have to umount the volume before you can eject the disk. and of course to umount it, noone can have any open files on it.
Exactly. That's why I can't remember what it was I read about, because I've never known anything to work any way other than the way you've described it above.
note that if you cd'd to the CD/DVD directory before running whatever installation script, you probably have a file handle open on the disk right there that will prevent you from opening it.
