[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#669358: hal causes the disk access led to blink regularely by eSATA BD burner

[Elmar Stellnberger]

Subject: hal causes the disk access led to blink regularely by eSATA BD burner
Package: hal
Version: 0.5.14-3
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze

As soon as my system enters runlevel 2 the disk access led is blinking every 2
seconds. This is caused by hal, exactly by hald-addon-storage.
ps ax | grep hal
...
 7901 ?        S      0:00 hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket
/var/run/acpid.socket
 7914 ?        S      0:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sr1 (every 2 sec)
 7915 ?        S      0:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sr0 (every 2 sec)
...

a kill 7915 helps.
While the integrated BD drive (/dev/sr1) doesn`t cause this error my eSATA BD
(/dev/sr0) does.
