From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: I inserted a blank CDRW then typed: mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrecorder Then the system hung. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert blank CDRW 2.In terminal type: mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrecorder Actual Results: The system hangs and I must hard reboot. Expected Results: Warning message should appear that blank CDRW can't be mounted. Additional info: I know it doesn't make sense to mount a blank CD however I stumbled across this bug by accident while using the usermount GUI (System Tools - Disk Management...same results as using mount command) and trying to copy a CD. Unfortunately the accident caused me to reboot. I shouldn't have to reboot.
I noticed that when I was asked to initially choose a component the instructions said that if the component you were reporting a bug on was not in the list to choose the closet component and add some comments to the description field. I added comments to explain that "diskcheck" was not the correct component, but I don't see those comments anywhere in this bug report. ???
Which kernel are you using? This bug was considered fixed with the latest 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 kernel.
I was using 2.6.12-1.1390, but I upgraded to 1398 and the problem is resolved. Thanks!
