Actaully, I just noticed hald has some processes running that look
like they're responsible:
$ ps -ef|grep hald-addon-storage|fold -w67
root 2804 2756 0 Jul29 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-storage:
polling /dev/sda (every 16 sec)
root 2813 2756 0 Jul29 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-storage:
polling /dev/sdb (every 16 sec)
root 2817 2756 0 Jul29 ? 00:00:05 hald-addon-storage:
polling /dev/scd0 (every 16 sec)
root 2820 2756 0 Jul29 ? 00:00:03 hald-addon-storage:
polling /dev/scd1 (every 16 sec)
/dev/sda is another filesystem that I don't want on the desktop,
/dev/scd0 is a 70GB REV drive for backups and /dev/scd1 is a DVD
drive. None of these devices should be monitored so I'll poke around
hald for a bit and come back if I have more questions :-)
The thing you may want is the hal-disable-polling command.
