Description of Problem: After upgrading to 7.1 from 7.0, autofs endlessly tries to mount /dev/scd0 when there is no disk in the tray. After several hours, the drive tray is ejected without being told to do so and left open. This problem did not occur on this system while running RH 6.1, 6.2, or 7.0, nor after booting into Windows 95 (system is dual-boot). How Reproducible: Hardware dependant; does not occur on other CD-RW equipped systems. Steps to Reproduce: 1. # /etc/init.d/autofs stop; eject /mnt/cdrom1 2. remove any media, close drive tray 3. # /etc/init.d/autofs start Actual Results: Continuous activity while drive is empty; drive will not respond to eject command while in this state. Expected Results: No drive activity when drive is empty; eject command should cause drive tray to open. Additional Information: Drive is an HP CD-Writer Plus 8250i (model #c4464A) attached as slave on secondary IDE channel. Motherboard is an FIC SD-11 w/ Athalon 550 cpu.
This should be fixed in Raw Hide, which no longer configures any automount points by default, preventing the device from ever getting wedged this way in the first place.
Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Powertools are currently no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. In an effort to clean up bugzilla, we are closing all bugs in MODIFIED state for these products. However, we do want to make sure that nothing important slips through the cracks.
