[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#818570: gnome-disk-utility: Assumes all optical drives are read-only

[Carter Kolwey]

Package: gnome-disk-utility
Version: 3.18.3.1-1
Severity: minor

gnome-disks assumes that all optical drives are read-only and refuses to
perform any write operations on them.

While this is often the case, some disc types (such as DVD-RAM and BD-RE) are
randomly writeable in the proper type of drive.

Many other utilities such as gparted and mkfs.whatever are fine with this, so
in theory, it should be possible for gnome-disks to support this as well.
