Last week I posted the following :

I thought I would much more answers, but...

Proposed solutions : use lsof to find out what processes still have open
                        files on the CD. I'm searching now for the gcc compiler.
        
                        try another eject (a second one). Nothing has changed.

                        switch the CD off and/or kill any process started while
                        on it. Can not switch the CD off. It's in the server
                        pack... Can't find what processes are to kill.

                        cd to somewhere else than /cdrom/... Already had check
                        it out.

                        REBOOT : what I finally did (before getting the compiled
                        lsof - that'll for the next time)
