Reiserfs does check whether the device is read-only, but the DVD drive isn't
reporting itself as read-only. It's probably a writer as well? The media change
event doesn't change the read-write status of the device, probably because that
logic doesn't really belong in the kernel.
The problem you're running into is that reiserfs is trying to initialize the
journal, which the media is rejecting due to it being read-only.
Just add "ro" to the list of options in /etc/fstab.
I'm going to assign this to Tejun since I expect it's causing a few other
problems with read-only media where the file system is assuming that it's
read-write.
Tejun, if there's a technical reason why this can't happen in the kernel (or a
previous argument where this has already been decided) I'd like to hear it.
