I have gentoo installed on my PowerMac G5. I noticed that when I would insert a cd into the drive that gentoo would not mount the cd. Also when I tried to eject the command gave me the error of /dev/cdrom not found. This is the troubleshooting I have done so far. 1. discovered that the rules in /lib/udev/rules.d were looking for block devices marked as "sr*" to symlink to /dev/cdrom. It did not create the symlink, becasue my cdom is identified /dev/hda. So I added this to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules: SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="hda", SYMLINK+="cdrom", GROUP="cdrom" I then reloaded the rules with 'udevadm control -R', the symlink was created and I was open the drive with the eject command. 2. I tried to mount the cdrom with udisksctl command and recieved the following error: G5-Gentoo rican-linux # udisksctl mount -b /dev/cdrom Object /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/hda is not a mountable filesystem. This is where I am stuck Thanks! Herminio

I think your kernel is mis-configured. /dev/hda is a block device provided by the IDE driver, which has long been obsolete and is unsupported by modern udev rules. You should disable CONFIG_IDE, and instead enable the corresponding CONFIG_ATA_* options.
I will try and report back this week. Thanks!
I made the changes to the kernel and did a reboot.

Well, that just looks like you have a bad CD in the drive or your drive is dying.
I could beleieve that the cdrom is dying.

Hmm. It would be interesting to know what exactly udisks is doing differently from /bin/mount. I'm not quite sure how to determine that, but maybe the udisks maintainer(s) have an idea.

Right now I have the /dev/cdrom line in /etc/fstab commented out because I did not think udisk2 needed it. SHould I uncomment, reboot and try again?
I uncommented my /dev/cdrom line in /etc/fstab (see below). I then rebooted and ran 'udisksctl monitor'. I inserted the cd and udisk recoginsed this then did nothing. I then manually mounted and unmounted the drive and udisk again recorded these actions. So it appears from some reason udisk can see the drive and know there is media in it, but it is not auto mounting. rican-linux@G5-Gentoo ~ $ cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't # needed); notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage # efficiency).

Just to clear something up: udisks2 doesn't automount things by itself. If just provides a dbus interface that other programs can monitor for changes and can call to mount volumes as an unprivileged user. It should be automatically probing for a filesystem and adding that org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem interface. From your udisksctl monitor output, that doesn't seem to be happening, and that probably causes udisksctl mount to fail.
I see so udisks relies on other programs to mount devices via system call. So as a test I plugged in my USB and 'udisksctl monitor' running. When I clicked on the USB icon in Thunar I saw this entry 20:35:58.311: Added /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/jobs/0 org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Job: Bytes: 0 Cancelable: true ExpectedEndTime: 0 Objects: ['/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdb1'] Operation: filesystem-mount Progress: 0.0 ProgressValid: false Rate: 0 StartTime: 1465875358299696 StartedByUID: 1000 20:35:58.333: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdb1: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem: Properties Changed MountPoints: /run/media/rican-linux/4078-EED2 20:35:58.370: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/jobs/0: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Job::Completed (true, '') 20:35:58.374: Removed /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/jobs/0 So if I am understanding you udisks made a call to run the operation filesystem-mount? If so then the issue is why is this not happening when a cd is inserted?
In your example, the USB stick was not mounted until Thunar told udisks to mount it when you clicked on the icon. Nothing was automounted by udisks; rather it was requested to mount the device by your file manager. And again, I do not know why this does not work for your CD drive. I'm just clarifying exactly what udisks does.
Ok hmm so let me ask is udisk what create the USB icon in Thunar? Something is present the USB as mountable and displaying it in the file manager.
Thunar creates the icon, in response to a dbus message it receives from udisks. As I said in comment 10, udisks should be probing for a filesystem, but it does not seem to be doing that.
Thank you for the clarification.
I have finally found the fix! My cdrom automounts and is seen in Thunar. There are two things I did. The first I am not sure helped but I know the second one did. 1. I found a related bug report in redhat here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1234317 They were reporting the same issues as I was and the fix was upgrading to verstion 2.28 of linux utils. So I upgraded to sys-apps/util-linux-2.28. This did nothing. I recieved the same erros in dmesg. 2. I have Debian and Gentoo dual booting on my PowerBook G4 for testing and comparssion. I examined how my /etc/fstab was set up under debian and matched the /dev/sr0 line with Gentoo /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 I inserted the cdrom again and Thunar recognised it right away and I was able to browse. rican-linux@G5-Gentoo ~ $ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 149.1G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 31.5K 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 800K 0 part ├─sda3 8:3 0 2G 0 part [SWAP] └─sda4 8:4 0 147.1G 0 part / sr0 11:0 1 310.9M 0 rom /media/cdrom ----from udevadm monitor--------- 12:44:48.672: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sr0: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block: Properties Changed Configuration: [('fstab', {'fsname': <b'/dev/sr0'>, 'dir': <b'/media/cdrom'>, 'type': <b'udf,iso9960'>, 'opts': <b'noauto,ro,user'>, 'freq': <0>, 'passno': <0>})] 12:45:30.609: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sr0: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block: Properties Changed Configuration: [('fstab', {'fsname': <b'/dev/sr0'>, 'dir': <b'/media/cdrom'>, 'type': <b'udf,iso9660'>, 'opts': <b'noauto,ro,user'>, 'freq': <0>, 'passno': <0>})] 12:45:49.190: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/HL_DT_ST_RW_2fDVD_GCC_4480B_HL_DT_ST_RW_DVD_GCC_4480B: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Drive: Properties Changed TimeMediaDetected: 0 OpticalNumDataTracks: 0 OpticalNumTracks: 0 OpticalNumSessions: 0 Optical: false Media: MediaAvailable: false Size: 0 12:45:49.190: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sr0: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block: Properties Changed Size: 0 12:46:07.848: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/drives/HL_DT_ST_RW_2fDVD_GCC_4480B_HL_DT_ST_RW_DVD_GCC_4480B: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Drive: Properties Changed TimeMediaDetected: 1466019967844441 OpticalNumDataTracks: 1 OpticalNumTracks: 1 OpticalNumSessions: 1 Optical: true Media: optical_cd_r MediaAvailable: true Size: 326017024 12:46:07.851: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sr0: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block: Properties Changed Size: 326017024 12:46:17.527: /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sr0: Added interface org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem MountPoints: /media/cdrom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I still ahve nore work to do on the PowerBook.

One odd thing when I eject it from Thunar it ask for my password.
This can be closed. Thank you for you help and patience. In case you run into this again, This is everything I did to get automounting cdrom. *Note on G4 mcahines trying to disable IDE drivers in the kernel will cause the system not to boot. 1. added this udev rule SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="hdc", SYMLINK+="cdrom", GROUP="cdrom" 2. Verified this line in fstab /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,user 0 0 3. added the following polkit rules polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-unmount-others" && subject.user == "rican-linux") { return "yes"; } }); polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-fstab" && subject.user == "rican-linux") { return "yes"; } }); polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.eject-media" && subject.user == "rican-linux") { return "yes"; } }); reboot and I was done. again thanks
Thanks for feedback
