Well if it does cause such effects then it is surely worth a try to disable it. udev and hald are the natural enemies of burn programs. We compete for the same hardware and the OS normally does not care about arbitrating. Nevertheless, i would have expected that the block device driver gets more respect by udev. > Here's one hit from google > (different symptom, but solution would be the same): > http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1399/dvd-drive-constanly-spins-up-down-when-idle It advises to try: udisks --inhibit-polling /dev/dvd or udisks --inhibit-polling /dev/sr0 Do you have more information about udev causing read-only optical media ?
