[opensuse] CD/DVD spin-up and file manager?
Is there any way to stop the spin-up of the CD/DVD drive unless I explicitly access/mount that drive? I've got a DVD "parked" (not mounted) in a DVD drive. Every time I open my file manager, the DVD drive has to spin up before I can use the file manager. This adds a huge delay to the file manager startup time. As well, if I have the file manager open, but in the background, and the DVD spins down (stops), I have to wait for it to spin up again it I happen to try to do anything in the open file manager. Yes, I could simply remove the DVD from the drive, but... this is not always easy since the computer case is somewhat inaccessible at times, and periodically I will need to mount the DVD. System is openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.6.3. It's not a terribly big deal.. just a minor annoyance that I'd like to "fix" if possible.

Put an entry for the dvd in fstab. The desktop should then ignore the dvd drive. Of course, then you have to manually mount it when needed. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
