Xen users - Nov 2006 - How to eject cdrom bound to a paravirt domU

Hi!

I would like to use my cdrom-drive in a paravirt domU, so I made the
physical blockdevice available for the domU.
Unfortunately the drive''s door is locked as soon as the domU is started
and I haven''t found a way to open it without shutting down this domU.

I tried the following disk-configs:

|''phy:/dev/hda,hda,r''|
|''phy:/dev/hda,hda:cdrom,r''|
|
|here it seems that it''s always made available as a disk not as cdrom.

|''tap:aio:/dev/hda,hda,r''|
|''tap:aio:/dev/hda,hda:cdrom,r''|
||
these don''t work at all.

Unlocking the door with "hdparm -L0" doesn''t work either.

So, is there a way to use a cdrom in a paravirt domU as cdrom or is this
a missing feature?

I''m using xen-unstable by the way.

Thanks
Patrick
