This never bothered me until after (a) I upgraded to fc15 and (b) a friend asked me how to turn it off. I have a box with a drive (used for writing out bios files and the like for pc's). When I insert a floppy, a cd, or a dvd into a drive and try to access it, fc15 seems to have to think about it and then MAYBE give me permission to access the device - and some things like xmms which used to play cd's no problems or xine which did the same with DVD's get blocked. (If I reboot under fc14 the problem goes away.) I remember turning this off in 14 but for the life of me I can't remember how. The behavior in 15 seems a bit more rigid than it was in 14, although I can't be certain. I did a search through both the docs AND my notes from 14, but I haven't found it yet. Any info on how to turn off this "automount" feature would be greatly appreciated.
