I use the CDRW to burn backup files every night via cron, so driving to the machine (45 min away) and cycling the drive is not feasible. Further, this was never an issue with 4.x releases, and if I'm not mistaken, 5.1 either. I think this started somewhere with 5.2 and beyond.

Normally it's not in a mounted state after burning, as best I recall. But I've tried that several times anyway, to no avail. Thanks for the suggestion.

This is possible, I guess. Makes since, as this problem cropped up after upgrading. I could be wrong, but it seems that since mount does not do anything different from the point just before reboot and just after reboot, perhaps it's more likely the burncd command not "releasing" the cdrw drive properly, or something like that...

Thanks,
Chris
