I wish I knew. I see these types of errors on some of my systems as
well, but haven't had a chance to look into it.
I was thinking it might be some daemon polling the optical drive to
see if media is present, and if it is present mount it. But again, I
haven't researched it enough to know for sure.
It's an easy and safe log to write an ignore rule for.
