Could be there's a bad user-space assumption here, or > something. Perhaps, I haven't tracked down exactly what the difference in behavior between working 2.6.29 and broken 2.6.30-rc2 is. It seems like the disk spins up more often (in response to hal background probes presumably) with 30-rc2 than it did before, and running "udevadm monitor" I do see the following repeated "change" events happening, even on an idle system: KERNEL[1242175547.793029] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[1242175547.794669] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) UDEV [1242175547.794912] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) UDEV [1242175547.888539] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) KERNEL[1242175673.309129] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[1242175673.310775] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) UDEV [1242175673.311013] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) UDEV [1242175674.658718] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) KERNEL[1242175690.227604] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[1242175690.229730] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) UDEV [1242175690.229960] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) UDEV [1242175714.060440] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) KERNEL[1242175727.909819] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[1242175727.911356] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) UDEV [1242175727.911690] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) UDEV [1242175727.987747] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) KERNEL[1242175731.591853] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0 (scsi) KERNEL[1242175731.593541] change /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 (block) I've verified that O_EXCL works at least with a trivial test program, so it's not simply that EXCL broke. Also I've verified with strace that hald-addon-storage and wodim are both using O_EXCL, and that hald-addon-storage gets EBUSY while wodim is writing the disk. (The straced run didn't fail, unfortunately.) -andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
