[Bug 993728] Re: /dev/dvd disappears when a DVD is inserted

[Pierre]

I have a similar problem.  Can anybody help?

Gnome-mplayer cannot my commercial dvd because it is mounted to
/dev/sr0.  It looks for /dev/dvd but cannot find it.  It seems that
below the logical name: /dev/dvd.  Could this be the problem?  Is this a
hardware problem?

Please Help!

Title:
  /dev/dvd disappears when a DVD is inserted

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On a fresh boot, with no DVD inserted:

  $ ls -Al /dev/dvd
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May  2 18:25 /dev/dvd -> sr0

  As soon as I insert a DVD:

  $ ls -l /dev/dvd
  ls: cannot access /dev/dvd: No such file or directory

  The only new lines in dmesg are:

  [   88.411709] UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
  [   88.472834] UDF-fs: INFO Mounting volume 'WILLIAM_CASTLE_FILM_COLLECTION', timestamp 2009/08/19 19:32 (1e5c)

  This is on a fully updated install of Ubuntu 12.04, with udev
  175-0ubuntu9.

  I don't want /dev/dvd to stop existing exactly when I need to use it.
