This never bothered me until after (a) I upgraded to fc15 and (b) a friend asked me how to turn it off.
I have a box with a drive (used for writing out bios files and the like for pc's).
When I insert a floppy, a cd, or a dvd into a drive and try to access it, fc15 seems to have to think about it and then MAYBE give me permission to access the device - and some things like xmms which used to play cd's no problems or xine which did the same with DVD's get blocked. (If I reboot under fc14 the problem goes away.)
I remember turning this off in 14 but for the life of me I can't remember how. The behavior in 15 seems a bit more rigid than it was in 14, although I can't be certain. I did a search through both the docs AND my notes from 14, but I haven't found it yet.
Any info on how to turn off this "automount" feature would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks -- wwa

"udisks" is a magic word to google.
I have /etc/udev/rules.d/99-zzz-local.rules with stuff like this in it:
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="BACKUP", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
That teaches it not to automount my usb drive with the partition labeled BACKUP. I suspect there are other things besides ID_FS_LABEL that you can look for, but that works well for me for my backup drive (which is the last thing I want automounted in every login session :-).
