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. http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/hardware/482683-automounting-dvd-problem-unmounting-fails.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Reproducible on every occasion Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert DVD 2.Read files 3.Eject Disk by means of the Eject button on the DVD drive 4.

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