I tried sudo hal-disable-polling --device /dev/sr0, restarting udev, and even the firmware update. Unfortunately udevadm monitor still shows repeats of the following (about once a second):
UDEV [1276134766.174897] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) UDEV [1276134766.271019] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) Most noticeably annoying with the Lucid CD in the drive, as the software sources pop-up keeps appearing. -- CD-ROM polling on some Optiarc drives causes high CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
