That's what I tried. After I've inserted it and have the icon on my desktop, I get:
r...@edwin:~# umount /dev/scd0 umount: /dev/scd0: not mounted r...@edwin:~# Yet the icon is on my desktop, and when I double click it, Nautilus open it. So what's controlling the device? It just occurred to me to do: r...@edwin:~# ps -ef | grep scd0 root 6521 6477 0 Jun14 ? 00:01:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/scd0 (every 2 sec) root 15023 14855 0 17:34 pts/5 00:00:00 grep scd0 r...@edwin:~# Any idea what hald-addon-storage is?
