[vfio-users] optical eject issue

[Roger Lawhorn]

ok, sorry, did a reply instead of a reply to all....

I have used the -cdrom /dev/sr0 option.
When you say 'virtual' optical drive, are you talking about an iso or a 
physical optical drive?
I am adding a physical optical drive.
I launch qemu using a script.
The script is passed the number of cpus to let qemu have ($1).
The ISO I setup as a cdrom shows up as drive D:
The physical optical drive shows up as drive F:

Like I said, the ejection issues really suck.

Here is my script:
#!/bin/bash
cd /media/dad/QEMU-SSD/qemu-wd
export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa
export QEMU_AUDIO_TIMER_PERIOD=200
export QEMU_PA_SERVER=/run/user/1000/pulse/native

taskset -p -c 0-7 `pidof lightdm | cut -d' ' -f2`
