Eject the ultrabay

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_Ultrabay_devices#Script_for_Ultrabay_eject

Create this script and run it as root!

Don't forget to add the correct device path at the beginning of the script.

udevadm info --query=path --name=/dev/sr0 | perl -pe 's!/block/...$!!'

Make the button for the DVD drive less sensitive

The problem is caused by udev

sudo cp /lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/.

Uncomment the containing ENV{DISK_EJECT_REQUEST}

sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules

# media eject button pressed
#ENV{DISK_EJECT_REQUEST}=="?*", RUN+="cdrom_id --eject-media $devnode", GOTO="cdrom_end"

Restart udev

 sudo service udev force-reload
 sudo service udev restart

You should emediately see, that the button.

Lock the device button
