Public bug reported:
Hello,
when a CD is in use and you "hard" eject it ("hard" = manually click the
eject button on the device), next and every after CD you insert won't be
automounted. You can still use "mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom -t iso9660 -o
loop", but it's not very convenient and far from user-friendly.
The scenario can be particularly reproduced, when CD-ROM is shared over
samba network, and someone is actually accessing the CD (or even done
accessing it, but samba still "uses" it). This situation isn't that
uncommon, since lots of netbooks (all of them?) haven't a CD-ROM, so one
way to access CD content on a netbook is to share a CD on PC.
Other way to reproduce this issue is to mount a CD image (e.g. an .iso),
that is recorded on a CD/DVD, with e.g. cdemu. Even after releasing the
.iso from virtual drive, the real CD still appears "in use", and one way
to eject it is to "hard" eject it and trigger the issue. (The other way
is to restart cdemud (funny though)).
I believe, that when wine is using a CD (e.g. windows installer), the CD
is "in use" forever too, hence the issue occur from here too.
To summarize: "hard" ejecting is cool (allows to eject CDs, that appears
"in use"), but triggers an annoying automount malfunction until next
system reboot.
Regards,
phan
