I've tried it, whitout luck :( I made sure the submount rule in /etc/fstab was uncommented. removed the module from being started. Stopped autofs starting up.
Apparantly Fedora Core 4 uses udev and hal. After rebooting I could play a DVD, but could not remove it anymore. So it was mounted. Proof of fact: /etc/fstab # the uncomment rule #/dev/hda /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,users,defaults 0 0 This rule was automagicly added after reboot /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder1 auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 So the freevo mechanism does not work for me (yet). Probably I need to dig into info about HAL and udev to prevent automounts. On the other hand, usb devices working as one should excpect: painless. I will reenable the subfs system again and start digging into the deeper basics of the automount system. However, in my case it should be cleaner to disable the freevo mount behaviour. Anybody has some toughts? Not that it produces errors or is annoying, but having two systems for the same job is definitly not a good thing. Geert > Geert- > Oops, sorry for the typo.
