Description Jesse Keating 2008-03-20 21:30:09 UTC

Recently in post-beta rawhide I lost the ability to eject media.  The above
message is always seen.  Nautilus is unable to eject it as well.

$ ls /sys/block/sr0/
capability  dev  device  holders  make-it-fail  power  queue  range  removable 
size  slaves  stat  subsystem  uevent

$ file /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0: block special (11/0)

Comment 1 Jesse Keating 2008-03-21 13:24:26 UTC

Found the problem.  sysfs changed things in /sys/block/ to be symlinks, which
conflicted with a patch in eject to ensure that the device is removable.  The
check would only look in directories in /sys/block/ for content, and thus would
ignore symlinks.  I've updated the patch and issued the build.

It's worth noting that this fixes ejecting things via Nautilus in GNOME too.

Comment 2 Zdenek Prikryl 2008-03-26 12:48:31 UTC

These changes in /sys/block are only in rawhide or even in F{7,8}?

Comment 3 Jesse Keating 2008-03-26 12:54:47 UTC

I was only aware of the problem on rawhide.  Have we attempted to get this patch
accepted upstream?

Comment 4 Zdenek Prikryl 2008-03-26 13:18:18 UTC

No, we haven't. This patch is really painful. At my computers everything works
fine, but I have some other reports that in some cases eject doesn't work
(devices like iPod etc). Probably I will have to write additional check for
hotpluggable flag, so this patch isn't fully correct.

See here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-2623.
Unfortunately, I don't know very much about theirs problems, so it's difficult
to fix something. Maybe they have problem because of symlinks too.

Actually that looks like for some reason his eject is looking for an "scd0"
device, when his device is actually "sr0".  I'd have to see more of his system
to know.
