Comment 135 for bug 283316

I still have this problem after applying all the Intrepid recommended updates, including udev-124-9

ii udev 124-9 rule-based device node and kernel event mana

This is the drive I am using:

           *-cdrom
                description: DVD writer
                product: DVDRW SHW-1635S
                vendor: LITE-ON
                physical id: 0.1.0
                bus info: scsi@5:0.1.0
                logical name: /dev/cdrom
                logical name: /dev/cdrw
                logical name: /dev/dvd
                logical name: /dev/dvdrw
                logical name: /dev/scd0
                logical name: /dev/sr0
                version: YS0N
                capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r
                configuration: ansiversion=5 status=ready
              *-medium
                   physical id: 0
                   logical name: /dev/cdrom

If the drive is empty when I eject it will then stay open, if the drive has a disc in when I eject, it will immediately close. Problem occurs no matter how I eject (using the button, right clicking on the desktop icon, or typing eject with any of the device names shown above).

However, making this change followed by sudo kill -HUP $(pidof udevd) seems to do the trick:
