"Me too" (DVD is a SATA Pioneer DVR-218L, also Ubuntu 9.10 "server" x86_64). I'll add that I'm a Unix veteran, but a udev newbie, so I'm not sure which I'm seeing here is cause or effect.
Running "udevadm monitor" as root shows a "continual burst" of change events of the form: KERNEL[1262122476.998785] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[1262122476.999378] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) UDEV [1262122476.999401] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0 (scsi) UDEV [1262122478.268607] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) KERNEL[1262122478.280167] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[1262122478.280328] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) UDEV [1262122478.280350] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0 (scsi) UDEV [1262122478.502319] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) This then appears to quiesce until the drive spins down, at which point another burst of events will occur. (The following is conjecture from newbieness). Editing /lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules and modifying the action from "add|change" to "add" (plus appropriate restart) stops the spinup, but also nobbles the creation of /dev/cdrom and friends (of course, as that's its purpose in life). I guess the issue here is should we be seeing continual change events from/for the DVD, or should cdrom_id be running on every change event? This issue doesn't seem to have garnered much interest. :-( -- CD-ROM not spinning down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
