Ha, you're right, the kernel doesn't see the HP as removable, only the sony is detected as a removable. (/var/log/dmesg)
Good. This explains why no check_media_change() was done. > I seem to recall that you mentioned that this disk was SCSI-1 > and that things are fine for SCSI-2 compliant drives.
Yes.

This is somewhat Alan suggested to me. So I inserted the ioctl(fd,BLKFLSBUF) directly into the eject code from Jeff Tranter. This works so far.
Yes. I mentioned BLKRRPART and not BLKFLSBUF because the latter does invalidate_buffers() but not invalidate_inodes(), and you want to do both, I think.
