Oh that's a good hint.. First i saw fstab-sync running in your trace, which is not necessary so it's probably best to remove it.
How to remove it?
Second if you strace it, hal runs as root, if you don't it runs as user haldaemon...
Well, you told me to run: hald... run hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes If I do that with a normal user, I get the following error
[EMAIL PROTECTED] % /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes ~ 17:42:36.712 [I] hald.c:394: hal 0.4.6 17:42:36.713 [I] hald.c:398: Will not daemonize 17:42:36.740 [E] hald_dbus.c:1945: dbus_bus_acquire_service(): Connection ":1.54" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.Hal" due to security policies in the configuration file
What are the permissions of your cd drives ?
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 3, 0 2005-01-25 13:27 /dev/hda brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2005-01-25 13:27 /dev/hdc
And I'm a member of cdrom group: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/jean-luc # groups jean-luc jean-luc : jean-luc adm dialout cdrom audio src video staff plugdev scanner
Also you can use ``strace -e ioctl,open,close -p $(pidof hald)'' to strace your running hald.. Probably it will show permission denied or somthing like that.
Yes, right

If this can helps, I remarked while doing my tests that fam is something doing bad things. The drive is marked busy so I cannot eject it nor unmount it without killing fam. But I don't know the exact conditions this occured.
