Okay, this is happening again on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop
(A55-S3063). It is therefore intermittent, and is probably contributed
to by my CD/DVD drive, but it could also just be all software. Even if
it's just a matter of Nautilus not seeing something wrong with my drive,
I think this is still a bug, so I recommend keeping it around. It may
be hard to reproduce if the latter is the case, however. Important
aspects of the failure are:
1. It will not allow the user to kill the process. You literally have to
reboot to make it go away.
2. It appears to be intermittent. During one session, I wrote three disk
drives (which I haven't tried yet, but hey).
3. During one recent session, the entire workstation, which had already been
well into swap, completely locked up when I tried to use Nautilus.
4. The dual occurrences of wodim seem odd to me. Perhaps that is intentional,
but it occurs consistently when it is broken. I'll make sure to check next
time it seems to work and put a comment here, but I didn't last time it worked.
When this happened, the nautilus popup never got a chance to pop up.
5. I may not have mentioned, usually when it happens, the nautilus popup
always says it is preparing the disk, and never gets beyond that stage into
providing any progress report.
6. Last time I tried it, I could definitely hear my drive spinning, but
nothing happened.
