Does it do the same as root. Does it do the same if you stop haldaemon first.
(I'd be suprised if either make a difference but just to be sure). If it
doesn't then strace might give clues as to what is being slow
The above is a specific behavior, but in general reading or writing
dvd's
takes forever. Drive worked fine under FC1.
Reading/writing cd-r media doesn't show these excessive delays but also
is slower than under FC1. While waiting, the drive activity light tends to
be either off, or occasionally blinking, but not constantly busy.
Interesting. The reading side I could believe was hal or similar but I don't
understand why it would mostly hit DVD. We really don't do much different
for the two cases.
