From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: cdparanoia tries to open cdrom device (in loop with 1 second delay) regardless error number reported by open() syscall: Error trying to open /dev/hdc exclusively (Permission denied). retrying in 1 second. Error trying to open /dev/hdc exclusively (Permission denied). retrying in 1 second. Error trying to open /dev/hdc exclusively (Permission denied). retrying in 1 second. .... and so on Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cdparanoia-alpha9.8-24 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make /dev/cdrom not accessible for the user (i.e. chmod go-rw /dev/hdc; chown root /dev/hdc) 2. run "cdparanoia 1" Actual Results: cdparanoia tries to open /dev/cdrom in loop with 1 second delay, even thought EPERM is reported. Expected Results: It should give up trying to open device immediately after failed open(). Additional info: This bug introduces by cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8.O_EXCL.patch. Actually, O_EXCL is not needed for cdparanoia.
The distribution policy is that everything using the CD drive will use it in exclusive mode, so that they won't interfere with other programs. Where do you think this causes problems?
(This is a mass update to bugs which have been in NEEDINFO unmodified for over a year and are for a currently unsupported version of Fedora Core.) Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
