Udisks inhibiting fails after system upgrade

Question

Hi,
To keep my cdrom silent I have in rc.local this line:
   udisks --inhibit-all-polling &
It worked fine, but stopped working after yesterdays upgrade
Now it (in console) returns:
   Inhibit all polling failed: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
And in kernel.log I found this:
   May 29 20:58:27 Mypc2 kernel: [ 2160.206487] INFO: task udisks-daemon:2105 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

I looked at packages that were upgraded yesterday, and here are few that can be relevant to this issue:
   [2011-05-28 22:48] upgraded udev (167-2 -> 171-1)
   [2011-05-28 22:49] upgraded udisks (1.0.3-2 -> 1.0.3-3)
   [2011-05-28 22:51] upgraded kernel26 (2.6.38.6-1 -> 2.6.38.7-1)
   [2011-05-28 22:51] upgraded kernel26-headers (2.6.38.6-1 -> 2.6.38.7-1)
   [2011-05-28 22:52] upgraded udev-compat (167-2 -> 171-1)
So what might be wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks

Answer 1

What if you disable polling of a specific device with " udisks --inhibit-polling /dev/the_devicename & " ? So without 'all', and using the_devicename that "ps aux | grep udisks-daemon" shows?
And have you tried using and udev rule instead of a line in rc.local? For example I use this to disable polling a card reader:
# /etc/udev/rules.d/02-udev-disable-cardreader-polling.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="APPLE*", ENV{ID_MODEL}=="SD Card Reader*", ENV{UDISKS_DISABLE_POLLING}="1"
