[Bug 283316] Re: CD-ROM tray closes automatically after eject

[Mike Mestnik]

Hello, I thought I'd bump this as it's still vary annoying.  What
bothers me most about this is that there is some process that is
obviously hammering the optical drive with requests.  This might not
disrupt throughput to/from the drive, but it can't be good for it.

I'd like to test with a patched kernel that would hopefully print the
PID and/or name of the application responsible.  Is there anyone who
could write such a patch?

Another note is that only the first opdrive is effected, the second on
my system operates without issue.

I'd like to be able to have the drive auto-close, so disabling this nice
feature is not an option for me...  even if it where to work around this
bug.

  Binary package hint: hal

  Ubuntu intrepid ibex beta (updated)

  Problem:
  When I try to eject a cd/dvd, Ubuntu intrepid inserts the cdrom right back in the cd/dvd drive

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Either by pressing eject button on the device or using the "eject" command or using the eject icon in nautilus sidebar
  2) The dvd is ejected successfully
  3) The dvd is loaded back in right after being ejected. This happens after the message "eject: CD-ROM eject command succeeded" of "eject -v" command.

  Note 1: The cd/dvd-rw drive is a SATA device
  Note 2: This happens while in tty and ubuntu gnome desktop manager
