I need more details. Kernel log messages. udev log messages. something
more...
Oh, and how about upgrading to the latest version of udev, we're at 030
these days.
thanks,

That's bad news, it means you cannot reproduce it :(
Here is a tar.bz2 containing strace logs of dbus-daemon-1 and udevd.
There is also a dmesg
output, my kernel .config, /etc/udev /sys and kernel logs.
I see nothing wrong in them, but hopefully you will.

This is not an udev problem; this is caused by the fact that hal polls
your device for media; fwiw, I've seen this with the ide-cs driver as
well when using a PCMCIA CF card reader and I'm looking into
blacklisting such devices or at least working around issues. Please
state your version of hal and include the output of 'lshal' so we can
get this resolved.
To me, it seems that if you do a 'dd if=/dev/hde of=/tmp/foo bsQ2
count\x10' then it causes a all partitions on /dev/hde to be hot
unplugged and then hot replugged. Uhm, isn't that some kind of bug in
the driver or what.
thanks,
David

Guillaume: I believe I've fixed this problem in the just released hal
0.2.97, at least it works nicely with my PCMCIA card reader which showed
the same issues. I see that you are running Fedora Core development;
updated hal-0.2.97 packages should appear in rawhide soon [1].
It would be great if you can test these packages ('rpm -q hal' should
report hal-0.2.97-1 or higher) and if it fails then please report the
bug to http://bugzilla.redhat.com or the hal@freedesktop.org mailing
list. If it just works, also feel free to mail me personally; I would
appreciate it! Thanks.

Hotplug folks: I'd just like to note that this problem is not exclusive
to hal at all, it even applies to mount(1) if the filesystem given is
'auto', cause then mount(1) access the device file and this will cause a
hotplug removal and then a hotplug add. Specifically, using udev
callouts to get the drive serial number or volume lanel will also cause
infinite loops.
Can anyone please confirm this is a bug in the IDE subsystem?
Thanks,
David

Sorry for the delay, I am at work, here are two lshal outputs, one
before mounting
and the other after.
Hopefully tomorrow you'll know if the new hal solves my problems :)
