I don't know about "easy", but I'm sure it can be done. Here is an example of a file I have in my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ directory thanks to the folks on the hal mailing list who helped me figure it out: filename is: 10-stop-hal-stop.fdi <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="volume.label" string="BACKUP"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> This tells hal not to notify anyone about the disk partition on my removable USB drive named "BACKUP" The lshal utility can tell you zillions of things about the devices hal knows about which would probably let you eventually construct some keys to match to do what you want to do by ignoring removable devices. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
