Description:

Hitting eject on DVD drive does not result in media being unmounted. Putting in new DVD results in DVD read errors.

Whilst I have seen it argued that a user should always unmount and eject using software and not via DVD drive optical button, to me it seems like a perfectly ordinary usage scenario to want to eject using the drive button, particularly in the case of ROM media.

Steps to reproduce:

- enter DVD
- eject DVD using drive eject button
- put in different DVD
- $mount |grep sr0
- $dmesg

DVD playback of new disk will not work and errors issue in dmesg such as:

[ 2348.391264] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 12134268
[ 2348.391267] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 3033567
This task depends upon

Before switching to udisks, in hal ages, when you press the hardware eject button, hal would receive notification, unmount the volume and eject by using software. I don't know how udisks does this these days.

How do you manage to get the disk out while it's still mounted, has something been changed in the kernel these days?

The hal system sounds like what should happen. I just hit eject on the drive. Nothing special.

I checked the /lib/udev/rules.d directory for rules concerning cdrom devices. When you insert media in /dev/sr* devices, udev locks the drive using the cdrom_id tool, mounted or not, it's locked. When you press the button, udev generates an eject event, which is passed to the cdrom_id tool with --eject. This tool doesn't check for any mounts, it just throws out the disk. You can reproduce this by running /usr/lib/udev/cdrom_id --eject /dev/sr0 as root, the drive will open and media is still mounted.

Thanks for the insights. Is this an Archlinux problem I wonder? I filed the following bug report against the kernel: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85111

I would say udev bug. Previously mount would lock the drive and umount would unlock it. Now udev locks the drive and unlocks it whatever state it is as soon as you hit the eject button.

Thanks to a recent thread on systemd-devel, I've realized that this is due to a setting in systemd-udevd.service. Does this behave as expected if you remove MountFlags=slave from systemd-udevd.service, systemctl daemon-reload, and systemctl restart systemd-udevd?
