Re: Make HAL leave my CD-ROM alone

I am having hard time trying to make HAL stop polling IDE CD-ROM drive.
The "storage.media_check_enabled" key is set to "false", but that does
not seem to make any difference.

I have also tried various combinations of...

storage.automount_enabled_hint
storage.media_check_enabled
storage.no_partitions_hint

...but to no avail.

Am I missing something? Or is this a bug?
