Hal doesnt mount anything by itself....
maybe you are refering to gnome-volume-manager, which interacts with hal
to mount storage devices and deal with removable media when
inserted.. assuming you are running gnome. My understanding is, at
least in gnome, it should be enough to disable gnome-volume-manager's
handling of blank writable dvd/cd media.
Jeff,
Thanks. Yep I am running gnome. Running gnome-volume-properties shows
that blank cds are disabled. However, if I put one in (cd/dvd) they
show up being handled by nautilus-cd-burn-whatever-comand. What I have
here is a failure to communicate.
I'm going to stroll over to bugzilla and see if it is there, if not file it.
Thanks.
