Hi, I have ran into this from time to time and it is really irritating to say it lightly. When I use my DVD drive and eject the DVD, hal seems to not unmount the device. That then causes me to get messages like this in /var/log/messages:

Since this happens every few seconds, my messages file can get pretty large in a hurry. I have logrotate and plenty of disk space but this is still annoying as heck. I can stop it by manually unmounting the drive but I sometimes forget to do that. Can someone tell me how to beat some sense into this thing and make it unmount when I am done and the drive is empty? This has happened over many different versions of hal so specific versions doesn't seem to matter. Just in case: r...@smoker / # emerge -1vp udev hal These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] sys-fs/udev-141 USE="(-selinux)" 0 kB [ebuild R ] sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r9 USE="X acpi crypt -apm -debug -dell -disk-partition -doc -laptop (-selinux)" 0 kB Total: 2 packages (2 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 kB r...@smoker / # I threw in udev just in case. Thanks ! Dale :-) :-)
