------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-29-08 08:16 ------- The previous comment was for bug 3575 . It seems the CD ejection problem is not present in LM9.2rc1. So I suppose both supermount bugs are gone now. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: I have all updates applied on stock mdk-9.1 install. I have supermount and scsi-emulation enabled. I have two IDE CD drives: hdc (scsi-emulated) hdd (no scsi-emulation). The CD ejection problem is reproducble for both drives. Steps to reproduce the problem --------------------------------------------- 1. Put a CD in the drive and close the tray by pressing the CD eject button (the hardware button present on the drive). Press the eject button again and verify that the CD is ejected as expected. Close the CD tray again. 2. Lets say that the CD drive device is /dev/cdrom (mounted on /mnt/cdrom2). Run the command: ls /mnt/cdrom2 Now, press the CD eject button, the CD is ejected fine. Close the CD tray. 3. Run a command to read /dev/cdrom as: cat /dev/cdrom 4. Wait for the cat command in previous step to end (or you may interrupt the cat command if it takes too long). 5. a) Now press the CD eject button. Nothing happens. b) If I use "eject /dev/cdrom", the CD is ejected fine. 6. a) If I skip step 5b and run "ls /mnt/cdrom2", then the CD files are listed just fine. b) After step 6a, if I press the CD eject button, it ejects normally. This strange behavior is 100% reproducible. It seems that every time the "cat" command is used after an "ls" command, it prevents a manual hardware ejection of the CD. After cat, using the "ls" command sets things right. Further investigation revealed that if I manually umount /mnt/cdrom2 then this problem disappears. If I manually re-mount /mnt/cdrom2, the problem reappears. Obviously, supermount is not handling things correctly since the problem is related to mounting. No error messages in dmesg or /var/log/* can be found that explains this odd behavior. I reported the same bug in bug 2103 but that bug has been marked resolved as "fixed", even though the bug still exists in mandrake-9.1 final.
