I was playing with an old irix cd that I couldn't mount at first.

people told me that there have been some changes lately in the kernel
regarding cd's etc.

anyways.

mout -t efs /dev/sr0 /cdrom didn't work and what _did_ work, was

mount -t efs /dev/sr0 /cdrom -o loop or something along the line. I
could ls the cd fine.

there was a RELEASE.INFO on the cd so let's take a look at it.

oops. bad idea :

root 7429 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? SW< 13:02 0:00 [loop0]
root 7439 0.0 0.0 1652 712 ? D 13:04 0:00 less RELEASE.info
root 7445 0.0 0.1 1800 972 ? D 13:04 0:00 file RELEASE.info

so the cdrom can't be umounted; I can't kill the processes.

is this a bug, or supposed to be this way ? :-)
