Hi,
A very annoying bug has been introduced in udev release 121:
In some distribution it is not possible to eject a CD or DVD anymore,
because the cd tray is immediately closed after it has been opened:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230886
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453095
We have tracked down the problem:
udev 120: works
udev > 121: problem occurs
The following checkin introduced the odd behaviour:
41677cf51fb2c14aa512ecf9410e43eb35560408
"persistent device naming: also read unpartitioned media"
with the following change in 60-persistent-storage.rules:
----------------------------------------------------------
+# import filesystem metadata
+IMPORT{program}="vol_id --export $tempnode"
----------------------------------------------------------
The following happens:
- the CD is ejected (by user)
- a change event is generated:
UDEV [1217184249.757495] change
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block)
- the rule above triggers the execution of "vol_id --export ...sr0"
- vol_id opens the device with open(2), which causes the cd tray to be
closed
Before this checkin, vol_id was only called for partitioned devices and
so the CD tray stayed open.
I'm not an expert in writing udev rules, but I'm using now the following
workaround:
diff --git a/rules/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules
b/rules/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules
index 5ae0c7f..95eb1fd 100644

If this patch is used, the vol_id call is omitted for sr* devices.
Sure, a drawback is, that you loose the "disk/by-label" link for CDs,
but IMHO these features are mainly targetted for USB hard drives or
something like this.
