Title:
  DVD-RAM bug seems to hang gvfs

Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  Hi. I am currently experiencing some problems with DVD-RAM media under
  ubuntu lucid lynx, and I was wondering if you might recognize some of
  the behaviour as being normal, or a bug.

  What I do is insert a disk, then issue `mkudffs --media-type=dvdram
  --utf8 /dev/sr0` and then `mount /media/cdrom0`. All seems to go well
  and I get an entry that shows up as:

   /dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom0 type udf (rw,nosuid,nodev,utf8,user=dan)

  At this point, I tried a simple copy of the linux git repository
  (~850mb), but 3 hours later it is still copying. With other small test
  writes, I also noticed that when I issue a umount, the command blocks
  for maybe 10 seconds, then returns, yet the drive light appears to
  continue to be writting for at least 5 minutes past the umount. At
  that point it starts spiking a nice'd load or something, on one of the
  cores of my system to 100% and stays there until I eject the disk. The
  problem is that ejecting the disk seems to mess up the copy as well.
  And even after I eject, the load stays at 100% on one core.

  As for the drive, it is:

  wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) :
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
   0  dev='/dev/scd0'     rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GH22NS50'
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Current kernel: Linux wks 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11
  08:03:28 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  It seems that even after I umount, a program called
  gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor starts going nuts writting to the disc and
  pegging one of the cores, followed by udevd using 100% after an
  eject+reinsert. Correct me if I am wrong, but absolutely nothing
  should be writting to any device after a umount, no?

  Anyways, until I can track down exactly what might be interfering with
  the writes, I would love to hear back on if I am just doing something
  incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
