I've noticed that I have problems after I mount the CD: the button on
the CD-ROM doesn't eject the tray, but 'eject' command works.
I get 'ioctl: Input/output error' but the tray opens OK.

Opening and closing the tray w/o mounting works all the time - with
the hardware button and w/ 'eject', w/o any errors.
