Hi,
After some discussion on the mplayer-users mailinglist about
that for some scsi drives it's impossible to read a data cd
after reading a vcd/scvd until the next reboot.
(see http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2002-December/025696.html)
I found that there is a reset of the cdrom block size needed
for those drives which doesnt restet it themselfs if a new
cd is put in (looks like only a few scsi cdroms are affected)
Attached is a small patch for drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c that fixes
this for the 2.4.20 kernel (and also for 2.4.21 as the code didn't
change). It's reseting the blocksize when a cdrom is opened for
the first time (meaning that a umount/mount cycle can reset
the blocksize).
I run this code now for about half a year and didnt have any problems.
But, as i didnt get any feadback from other people, i'm not sure if
everything is correct.
Greetings
Attila Kinali
