Automounting/unavailability of devices...

[William W. Austin]

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
