Exactly. When mounting HD's, *one* mount command is enough for achieving this, but for removable optical media (like CD's), I need at least 2 commands, if the media is not loaded. That's what I don't understand.
If you try to mount a device with no media, mount might simply fail (no media present). Instead, at least for optical drives, it presumes the desired media might be available in the tray and requests the device to load media, then tries again to mount a file system from this device.
This is exactly my question: why mount is able to load the media, but doesn't include it correctly into the filesystem?
When the drive status changes from empty to loaded, a udev event occurs that can trigger another piece of software that wants to "Do the right thing." I suspect your initial problem results from conflict between these two programs.
You're right!
The original mount request fails, whatever operation started by udev completes, and when you issue a second mount request (for the now-loaded optical drive) there is no udev event to get in the way and the mount succeeds. I do not like to sacrifice well-defined, predictable behavior for convenience
Convenience is what users need!
but others may argue this default behavior serves the greater good.
What is the *greater good*?
