That's what I tried. After I've inserted it and have the icon on my
desktop, I get:
root@edwin:~# umount /dev/scd0
umount: /dev/scd0: not mounted
root@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:
root@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
root@edwin:~#
Any idea what hald-addon-storage is?
