Bugzilla Bug 193603

While burning with cdrdao the HAL daemon keeps polling the drive (per default
every 2 seconds) to check for media changes. HAL expects burning applications
to lock the device using O_EXCL.

Example: Burning with growisofs or wodim:

ps -A f|grep hald
 3110 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/hald --use-syslog --verbose=no
 3111 ?        S      0:00  \_ hald-runner
 3119 ?        S      0:00      \_ /usr/libexec/hald-addon-acpi
 3128 ?        D      0:00      \_ hald-addon-storage: no polling because
/dev/hdc is locked via O_EXCL
 3130 ?        D      0:00      \_ hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/hdd (every
2 sec)
 3132 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sda (every
2 sec)
22801 pts/1    S+     0:00      \_ grep --colour=auto hald

With cdrdao: 

ps -A f|grep hald
 3110 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/hald --use-syslog --verbose=no
 3111 ?        S      0:00  \_ hald-runner
 3119 ?        S      0:00      \_ /usr/libexec/hald-addon-acpi
 3128 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/hdc (every
2 sec)
 3130 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/hdd (every
2 sec)
 3132 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sda (every
2 sec)
17528 pts/1    S+     0:00      \_ grep --colour=auto hald

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Burn a cd with cdrdao
2. run ps -A f|grep hald
3.

Actual Results:  
HAL keeps polling drive

Expected Results:  
HAL stops polling because of O_EXCL

I'm using x86, but also tried cdrdao-1.2.2. As frontend I use k3b in KDE.

Any reason why is this a Gentoo issue, and not an upstream one?

Patch from Debian (originating from Ubuntu I believe)

Thanks, applied in 1.2.2-r2. Sorry it took so long.
