[systemd-devel] cdrom_id and 60-cdrom_id.rules behavior

[Robert Milasan]

Hello, a while back, around 2011, in cdrom_id was added --eject-media,
--lock-media and --unlock-media for not much explanation.

Now, recently some people noticed that this might actually be a
problem. 

Reference: http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=909418

Here is a scenario:

1. add a CD/DVD into the driver
2. mount the driver: mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/my_cd (ensure you don't
use the Gnome/KDE auto-mounting or reproduce this in a server setup)
3. eject the media (using the hardware button) and add a new one media
(different disk)
4. ls /mnt/my_cd (it will be an empty output or the previous media)

Is this expected? Also, I remember a while back (long time ago) that
once you added a media into the driver and it was properly mounted, you
couldn't eject the media until you unmounted the media.

NOTE: This works somewhat OK in the desktop setup, probably due to
udisks (using Gnome/KDE), but in the console not really.
