Description of problem: I've been adding a ton of CDs to my music storage and I found that given enough CDs (typically 2 to 5), I'll hit a problem where my CD will not get listed in my application (Attempted using banshee and Sound-juicer) and any subsequent cd inserted will not get listed either. If I attempt to open the same cd in gnome-cd while affected by this problem it reads and plays just fine. After a reboot the same CD will likely read and get listed just fine. I noticed the following in dmesg: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 2 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 3 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 4 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 5 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 6 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 7 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 8 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 9 end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0 Which leads me to think that HAL might not handle this IO error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-106-1.fc7 hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 kernel-2.6.20-1.2982.fc7 ConsoleKit-0.1.3-0.git20070301.1.fc7 How reproducible: 100% (given enough samples) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Rip cd 2. eject 3. repeat untill hitting bug
OK. Try removing the problematic CD and run # /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes This generates a lot of output. Press return a few times to separate it. Now insert the CD and attach the output it generated from the hald process. Also, please attach lshal output when the CD is inserted. Thanks.
Created attachment 149901 [details] hal output with/without cd inserted and lshal with cd inserted This CD not only triggers the bug, it crashes Banshee when attempting to rip it and it's 100% repeatable. The requested information is attached.
The attachment in comment 2 indicates it's a mixed CD, yes? Perhaps Banshee / Sound Juicer don't handle that well. This doesn't look like a HAL bug at all... what makes you think it is?
I had to file it somewhere, since I could read the cd using non-hal apps I assumed HAL was the logical place to look. Also while this is a mixed mode CD, when I first started hitting this it happened quite a random and the same CD worked after a reboot but all apps using HAL would refuse it list the CD after hitting. It might be 2 seperate issues, the mixed mode thing is likely something the applications need to worry about. I was just so pleased I found a single CD that seemed to repeatedly hit this bug since I'd gone through a stack of maybe 15-20 cds without provoking the bug which was earlier today occuring fairly often. I'm closing this NOTABUG, if I hit the bug on a regular CD then I'll reopen with the information you requested.
