I think I have to agree to this. Some weeks ago, I asked about a very strange error with changing CDs etc. This problem was solved by setting the correct permissions on /dev/hdc (apparently a udev update had reset them...) . Looks like in this case, the read access error of /dev/hdc wasn't properly handled. Maybe this is related to the write protection error. Oliver Gerlich
