You can check if HAL does what it is supposed to do. Use this command:
lshal --monitor
Then you should get this kind of output when you insert a CD into the
drive:
21:46:56.798: storage_model_CDRWDVD_TS_H493A property storage.removable.media_available = true
21:46:56.864: storage_model_CDRWDVD_TS_H493A property storage.removable.media_size = 633229312 (0x25be5000) (new)
21:46:57.151: volume_label_CLTS1 added
(It can take a few seconds before these messages appear.)
When you eject the CD again you should see something like this:
21:49:17.121: storage_model_CDRWDVD_TS_H493A property storage.removable.media_available = false
21:49:17.125: storage_model_CDRWDVD_TS_H493A property storage.partitioning_scheme = '' (new)
21:49:17.902: volume_label_CLTS1 removed
If you see this then HAL is fine. (CTRL-C ends the monitoring.)
