Hi, Bill Davidsen:the OS provides tools by which applications can prevent this, if the applications fail to use them than the fix lies in the application (and the user who chose the application).I would really like to implement a hald cooperation module in libburn. Do you have any specs how to contact hald from a vanilla C program, to tell it to stay away from a certain drive, and to later give back the drive to hald ? Maybe even an example program somewhere ?
I believe you would have to modify hald to produce suitable behavior, and it hardly seems worth doing until the future of hald is clearer. Hopefully it will eventually vanish, other find it a problem for other reasons.
