CD/DVD/BD disc ejected via button of optical device remains mounted

Hi

My fully updated Arch Linux running Plasma 5.22.2 and default kernel (5.12.14-arch1-1) is not unmounting CD/DVD/BD discs when I press the eject button of the optical device (a blu-ray burner in my case). This behavior/bug is annoying when I need to insert and eject several discs in sequence because a disc inserted after ejecting the previous one is not mounted correctly. A disc is unmounted as expected when ejected via "Eject" feature of my file manager (Dolphin), but leaving the disc mounted after ejecting via button of the optical device is not the correct behavior, I think.

Steps to reproduce:
insert a cd/dvd/bd into your optical device (not reproducible with audio CD)
mount the inserted disc
eject the disc by pressing the physical eject button of your device
run "mount|grep sr0" command (possibly you need to replace "sr0" with your device)

Output of the command above indicates that the ejected disc is still mounted. In my case the output is:

/dev/sr0 on /media/disc type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nojoliet,check=s,map=n,blocksize=2048,uid=1003,gid=1003,dmode=555,fmode=444,uhelper=udisks2)

Can anyone reproduce the problem? Is there any solution/workaround to unmount discs ejected via eject button of the optical device?

Re: CD/DVD/BD disc ejected via button of optical device remains mounted

This is an old issue. Here is an old topic in Arch forum:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1459388

And here is an old bug report in kernel bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85111

If I'm understanding well, in comments 3 and 6 of the bug report somebody says that a disc can be unmounted on ejecting if the optical drive implements notifiers for the eject button. Also it depends on how the desktop environment (I use KDE Plasma) handles the event when the disc is ejected.
How can I know if my drive supports the mentioned notifiers for the eject button?

Here are details about my drive:

Possibly the second command confirms that my drive implements notifiers for the eject button in these lines:

Morphing Feature
	Operational Change Request/Notification supported
	Synchronous GET EVENT/STATUS NOTIFICATION supported

But I'm not sure.

If my drive implements the required notifiers, how can I unmount and eject a disc at once by pressing the eject button of the drive when using KDE Plasma DE?

Re: CD/DVD/BD disc ejected via button of optical device remains mounted

The following old bug report on Arch bug tracker suggests that systemd controls the behavior when a disc is ejected:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42071

The problem was also reported against other distributions:

OpenSuse: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=909418
Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1168742

The bug was also reported to systemd devs on the currently inactive freedesktop bugzilla on december 2013:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72206

I have created a new bug report on the current bug tracker of systemd:

Re: CD/DVD/BD disc ejected via button of optical device remains mounted

I'm unable to reproduce this problem with systemd 249.7-1. \o/
My new bug report was useful. smile
