Powertop suggests to kill hald-addon-storage to stop it from polling the
CD drive, the problem is that the method it suggests
(hal-disable-polling --device /dev/cdrom) fails to stop
hald-addon-storage from waking up regularly.
I have found that adding the following as
as /etc/hal/fdi/policy/20-storage-methods.fdi turns off
hald-addon-storage.
Should powertop be updated to suggest this instead of the current
command?
--- /etc/hal/fdi/policy/20-storage-methods.fdi ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="storage.removable" bool="true">
<remove key="info.addons" type="strlist">hald-addon-storage</remove>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
