Comment 13 for bug 854814

In my case, I experience the opposite of the problem described.
I cannot eject my optical disk as it it always locked, despite my configuration value:

dev.cdrom.lock = 0

Every time I insert a disk, the drive is locked. When I issue the command

$ eject -i off

which is essentially a

$ ioctl(fd, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 0)

then the eject button works fine again.

So, it seems that the configuration value in dev.cdrom.lock is not reprected anymore and thus the drive locking is setting (another) default value?
