GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 664441
Ejecting a CD or DVD manually does not unmount it
Last modified: 2012-02-01 17:46:00 UTC
On my laptop, pressing "eject" button on the DVD drive will pop out the disc, but it will still be treated as mounted by Nautilus.it has the options of the ejected disc but we are not be able to excess them. If I then put in another disc, it will still think that the files from the previous disc are there, as though it had not been ejected. This produces an error when I try to manipulate those files. I can't access the files from the new disc until I eject the old one using the button on Nautilus. and in the end i have to restart my system. HOW TO REPRODUCE 1. Put a CD or DVD in the drive, close it, and let Nautilus mount it. 2. Eject it using the option of eject. 3. Put in a new CD or DVD. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR Nautilus will know when I ejected a disc.
Which distribution is this about?
this is about ubuntu?
The bug got reported on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/890592 as well it seems and concerns nautilus 3.2.1 (there doesn't seem a reason the distribution should make a difference there)
I've been trying to reproduce this bug but it's working fine for me both in nautilus master and in nautilus shipped in fedora 16 (nautilus 3.2.1). So maybe this is an ubuntu issue related to broken udev/gnome-volume-monitor ??
ok, that's not a nautilus issue but lower on the stack the directory is still available and the disk listed as mounted in udisks
