--- Comment #4 from Franz Trischberger <franz.trischber...@gmail.com> --- Thx a lot, Nate. The reason behind not automounting goes back a while. We watched lots of DVDs (nowadays just occasionally). With mounted DVDs there were issues with ejecting, sometimes forcing me to reboot to change the disc (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261552#c48). With the external hdd I now see this problem: it turns off after a while, when I insert a card reader or a usb stick and open it I get a delay of several seconds because also the external HDD starts up when it was mounted (should be the same with optical discs), and the LoadCycleCount unneccessarily goes up. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
