IIRC, we had something similar on this list some time ago. Have a look at the "Resetting SCSI CD-RW burner" thread (started 2002-08-13). In this thread, Edward Guldenmond wrote that cdrdao had such functionality. Otherwise, AS A LAST RESORT AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY you might try unplugging the drive from the power supply. This could theoretically reset the drive and you could perhaps get it back with rescan-scsi-bus.sh from the scsitools package if it isn't available after plugging back in. The danger here is that it might just fry your SCSI bus or crash your system, but normally the devices are rather robust in that regard. -- Embedded Linux -- True multitasking!
