Has anyone else experienced problems with mounting
optical disks in a NextCube running v3.0.

Ever since I updated to 3.0 I couldn't load 
any of my backup optical disks.  I know the 
drive is fine because I can log in as root
and screw around with the fsck and mount commands
until I finally get it to not spit out the disk.
Then it'll mount fine and I can access all the info on 
the optical disk.  I need to power down and power up
in order to eject the disk.   disk -e  doesn't work
on the optical drive.

Has anyone else seen this problem ?

I haven't had a single problem with Opticals under 3.0 - and I also had backups  
as well as other important info on about six different disks all formatted  
under 2.1, 2.2 and 2.2a

However, when the System panics, I do end up Repairing any disk that is  
inserted (the repair is as expected, but the panic is not :-(
