Abstract

A system and method for an ejection failure mechanism is provided. The system receives a request to eject an ejectable resource, and, provides information associated with a failure of the ejection of the ejectable resource, if ejection of the ejectable resource is unsuccessful. The system thus provides a deterministic mechanism through which information associated with failure of the ejection of an ejectable resource can be communicated. As such, an initiator of the request to eject can receive information associated with a cause of the ejection failure.
