Description Yann Rouillard 2007-10-30 12:53:43 UTC 
When a new medium is inserted, hald-probe-volume is launched at some time with a 10s timeout. 
This value seems to be too short for some hardware.
Indeed a DVD-R inserted in LG GSA-H30N recorder is never really recognized because hald-probe-volume is killed after the timeout.

Increasing this value from 10s to 15s solves the bug (in hald/util.h), the DVD-R 
is correctly recognized.

The problem has been found on Ubuntu 7.10 with hal 0.5.9.1, udev 113, kernel 2.6.22.

I can confirm this. I have external USB powered LG GSA-E50L DVD writer and it's way too slow to recognize inserted DVD in 10secs. Please fix this, this doesnt require a lot of job I think.

Seems that Yann and I figured this out independently. I sent explanations and the (trivial) patch to the upstream ML recently:
