Those things are done automagically in 7.1 But with some drives
supermount can interfere with burning. Basically, your drive
MUST be unmounted to burn. Most drives unmount with a complaint
when supermount is active and complain again when the burner
program exits, but the complaints do not prevent business as
usual. With a few drives, the complaint stops the show...
While you have 7.0 running, let's see what lspcidrake and dmesg
shows and maybe someone will be able to say "Oh, yes,m with that
configuration you avoid the problem with...."
