I suspect it's tied to the normal spindown time for the drive (the drive does _start_ to spin down, after all, before it gets kicked back into full gear). > Both udisks and hal poll CD-ROMs > every two seconds, so at first sight this looks slightly unrelated. > But those are the two that actually generate polling events.

This occurs whilst running _nothing_ other than udevd (as well as during normal operation): boot with init=/bin/sh mount -t proc proc proc mount -t sysfs sysfs sys mount -t tmpfs udev dev modprobe sr-mod (insert cd: after a few seconds it spins down normally) udevd --daemon udevadm trigger (remove/insert cd: it never spins down; this is when I ran udevadm monitor) killall udevd (after a few seconds the cd spins down normally) -- Nick Bowler, Elliptic Technologies (http://www.elliptictech.com/) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
