Nautilus temporarily breaks my DVD drive
Posted: Oct 19th, '12, 07:36If I do the following:
- Insert a CD or DVD into my laptop's drive
- Let Gnome mount it
- Eject it from via a Nautilus window
- Insert another CD or DVD
My DVD drive's functionality is seriously compromised until I reboot.
- Nautilus cannot mount the second CD
- The eject button fails to eject it
- The kernel log shows several instances of
Mounting the CD as root through 'mount', or ejecting it manually through 'eject', works, but Nautilus cannot see the CD at all. I do not have an entry for the DVD drive in /etc/fstab, and the CD drive does not appear in /proc/mounts (unless mounted manually as root). Were it not for the latter, I would suspect that Nautilus was ejecting CDs without unmounting them.
What causes this? How can I fix it?
Edit: for the record this only happens with my laptop's internal drive. External DVD drives work fine.
