Description Rod Goslin 2013-09-26 23:17:07 CEST

Description of problem:
This concerns the failure of a DVD, automatically mounted on insertion of the disk, to be similarly unmounted on it's ejection by means of the open/close button on the DVD drive. Whilst this has no seeming effect of the ability to play the disk if it is a video disk, or any video disk subsequently inserted. File manager (Konqueror, in this instance) cannot read the file structure of any subsequent disks, until the disk has been unmounted (say by means of the umount command), and re-inserted. 'mount'and /etc/mtab indicates that the disk has been mounted as /run/media/$username/disk title. In this instance, the task was to check a large number of backup DVD's for a particular file, or files. This could not be done without manually unmounting each disk after it had been ejected, and before the insertion of the next disk. Other means of ejection, or the 'eject' command would effect unmounting, but added a degree of complication to the task. A search for other examples of this behaviour led me to the Open Susie forum at the following address, which exactly reproduced the same error.

Yeah, I confirm.  I've been seeing this for a while, loading DVD after DVD, and then doing a "df" and seeing multiple mount points left over.  This was under KDE.

Looks like more something for upstream (kde) than for us. Feel free to open a bug by them

Comment 3 Rod Goslin 2013-09-27 21:50:24 CEST

I fail to see how this is a KDE matter. Surely KDE is simply a windows management system. In this case I can't see how it is involved. Mounting and unmounting of removeable devices is surely an OS matter. The system has mounted this drive, and failed to unmount it on its removal. Konqueror, in this case is unable to list files on a later disk, since the machine considers the earlier disk to be still resident

Comment 4 Frank Griffin 2013-09-28 00:17:29 CEST

No, AFAIK the desktops have their own device management code using dbus (yes, I think this is idiotic duplication as well).

Comment 5 Marja Van Waes 2015-03-31 16:04:57 CEST

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
