(fedora-34; gnome)
The evening before doing a Fedora upgrade, I do a user data back-up. I
do it as a data project in K3b to burn a DVD/Blu-ray (BD-R). I always
"test" the back-up immediately after it's done.
On April 07, 2021, I did such a back-up. I upgraded from f-32 to f-33
the next day. Today, when I put the disc into the drive, it
automatically mounts and asks if I wish to view contents in Caja. In
Caja, I successfully viewed an image stored on the disc, launched in
Firefox an html file stored on the disc, and opened in LibreOffice a
LibreOffice file stored on the disc. The disc was successfully
unmounted and ejected when I asked Caja to do so. Also today, if I
launch Files and then put the disc into the drive, it automatically
mounts the disc. In Files, I successfully viewed an image stored on the
disc, launched in Firefox an html file stored on the disc, and opened in
LibreOffice a LibreOffice file stored on the disc. The disc was
successfully unmounted and ejected when I asked Files to do so.
On October 13, I did a user data back-up. Immediately after, I "tested"
the back-up.
1. When I put the disc into the drive, nothing showed up on the
screen. But I then launched Disks, the disc was there and mounted; it
unmounted and ejected the disc when I told it to.
2. When I launched Files and then put the disc into the drive, the "+
Other Locations" flickered once, and that's all. But when I then
launched Disks, the disc was there and mounted; it unmounted and ejected
the disc when I told it to.
3. When I launched Caja and then put the disc into the drive, a
message popped up
"Unable to mount .F33_20211013
An operation is already pending".
But when I then launched Disks, the disc was there and mounted; it
unmounted and ejected the disc when I told it to.
4. When I launched Disks and then put the disc into the drive, the
icon for the drive showed a disc. When I clicked that disc icon, it
showed it mounted. When I clicked the mount path that showed below the
graphic part of Disks, it launched Caja. I then successfully completed
the "test" just as I did with the April 07 back-up disc, except that I
had to use Disks to unmount and eject the disk. Also, I was able to
restore a files from the back-up disc when using the Caja instance
launched by Disks.
I went ahead and upgraded from f-33 to f-34 the next day.
Today, when I repeat steps 1-4 above using the October 13 back-up, I get
the same results.
Both back-up discs are Verbatum MDISC BD-R Blu-ray Disc, 25GB, 4x
speed. Both were written with the same drive.
What went wrong, and how do I fix it?
Thank-you in advance.
Bill.
