growisofs is da bomb what other command has an option like

-use-the-force-luke=notray

to stop the tray from ejecting.  we use it at work all the time to burn
images of our HP servers and it is quick, easy and has never failed.
But I had to chime in with the option like that someone had to much fun
programing, almost as good as "You can tune a filesystem, but you can't
tune a fish."
