If open("/dev/sr0", O_RDONLY); pulls in the tray of an optical drive, it immediately returns -1 with errno ENOMEDIUM or the first read(2) fails with EIO. Later, when the drive has stopped blinking, another open() yields success and read() works. This affects not only userland reading of the device file but also mounting the device. The reason is that medium assessment happens before automatic tray loading. Use the new function cdrom_handle_open_tray() for deciding and performing tray loading before doing medium assessment.
