I know your problem. With my Pioneer DRM-624x everything was the same: Timeouts while trying to mount all luns at a time. First I tried to increase the timeout in the kernel sources - but unfortunately that introduced other problems. Then I hacked a small shell script that does mounting/unmounting of all luns. After each mount, it waits 5 seconds before it attempts to mount the next lun. Simple. No timeouts during mounting/unmounting. But still if two or more processes access different discs, timeouts may occure. Since it's foobar to access two different discs of a changer at a time (the cd changer does 99.9% changing and 0.1% reading data), I can live with it.
