[Bug 361041] Re: udftools confuses hal

[sergio.callegari]

Ok...:

char device 252:0 is hidraw0, which I guess is the system keyboard. And that is why hal gets confused.
And that is why the dvdwriter probably received crazy commands that cook the disk that is inside (and maybe the drive too).

There is a long thread on this on the linux kernel mailing list.
It seems to affect 2.6.27.

Cannot see if it was fixed later on, but if it was, the ubuntu kernel
doesn't have the fix.

This looks serious:
SURE DATA LOSS (after this treatement the DVD+RW that is in drive not only cannot be read, but cannot be formatted anymore) and possible hardware damage (drive spins and seeks in a crazy way).

Please adopt one of the following in order of priority:

1) Provide a true fix for the kernel or pktsetup if it is available.

2) Make sure that the udftools package contains HUGE warnings in the
documentation.
