Yikes!!! Does it also do this stuff without my patch? All this patch did to cdu31a was to properly increment the module use count (and then spin up the drive) before an ioctl, and decrement the module use count after each ioctl. These problems sound like something much worse then that... Now that I have this patch out, I will start looking through the cdu31a docs (did I remember to send you a copy Yann?), and the source code and see what is happining. I havn't yet tried to fix the reported "Ughs" (which may be related) and trying to read past the end of the CD. -Erik
