Hi guys:) I am using nbd to share a dvd-drive from one machine to another. Everything works great except one think: after nbd-server starts up the drive will not open it's door when i press it's "open" button. The only way to change the disc is to login as root on the server and do eject /dev/hdc. I know that the door locking can be disabled in the kernel, but this is the "quick and dirty way" to resolve the problem. The door locking in general is a good thing, because it ensures that the disc will not be removed when it's mounted. So i thougth that maybe it is possible to setup the nbd such a way that when the disc is mounted on the remote side, the drive will lock it's door, but when it's unmounted (on the client) the drive will unlock the door again? |
