Ok. So what's wrong with cdrecord using O_EXCL (and maybe retrying for few seconds) so no other program (hald or, say, a user mistaking a device) can interrupt it?
And, if we are here, what's wrong with hald using O_EXCL to not interrupt any other program (does hald need to check the media if it's in use)? I assume the problem wouldn't exist with hald using O_EXCL and cdrecord not (yet) using it, would it? -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
