ok - just a few questions:
does this also work with glppv drivers (pre17)?
if so, can anyone help me out:

my cdrom drive is an external usb, connected to my hvm guests with
phy:/dev/cdrom2,hdd:cdrom,r
i can use the drive, but up now only one cd per boot ;-(
ls -al /dev/cdrom2 -> scd2

so when i type in on cli
eject cdrom
it will answer: device not found
same answer on
change cdrom /dev/cdrom2
eject hdd seems ok, but nothing happens.
change hdd /dev/cdrom2 seems also ok, but again: nothing happens

i also tried block-deatch and block-attach method, but sometimes it fails
and in most cases new hardware is found which always needs a reboot before
use. 

regards
innu
