how to have hal be selective

[Brian Millett]

Hello, I just purchased a DVD+-RW drive that I put into a usb 2.0
enclosure.  The manufacture is:

scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: MAD DOG   Model: MD-16XDVD9        Rev: 2.F6
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02


It looks like to burn anything (dvd/cd) with this external device, I have
to stop haldaemon.  If I do not, then I have coasters.

My question is, is there any way to have hal ignore this device when a
blank cd/dvd is inserted?  I, ofcourse, would want hal to mount any valid
disk that is inserted.

Thanks.

Oh yeah, I am running rawhide yumed on top of FC3.
