[Bug 46288] Empty CD-ROM is automounted as a blank disk

[Alissa Harrison]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I can see a link to a CD disc on the desktop even though there is no CD
in the CD-ROM. If I double-click it, the CD Creator pops up. If I right-
click it and eject...the CD-ROM opens and the link disappers. But when I
close the drive (WITHOUT inserting a disc), the link comes back just the
same.

It seems that this problem is not always reproducible. I notice that
sometimes the CD-ROM is empty and there is no link. After a few days of
normal use (reading and burning CDs) I might notice the buggy behavior
returns. But I am not sure if there is a particular CD or sequence of
actions that cause it. My cd-rom operates normally in all other
respects: burning CDs, auto-mounting ACTUAL CDs, reading....etc.

An important caveat: rebooting does NOT help. In fact, I notice that
while this problem is active, I will see several CD-ROM related error
msgs in the boot up output. See attachments for more info.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
