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.
