cdrom process not dying

I was copying files from cdrom to a local filesystem when i saw that the transfer rate was slow, and bdf was not changing any more. So, i did a cntrl c, but it didnt do anything. When i did fuser -cu /cdrom i saw theer was a process. I tried to kill it but it kept coming back.... The final resolution was power recycling of the cdrom... But my question is that why didnt the process die in the first place...
Thanks

Re: cdrom process not dying

A process waiting for I/O to complete cannot be interrupted until the I/O completes.
