Reading random manpages is a good habit. :-)
You often discover useful things.
For example, how many people did ever read the manpage for "cat"?
It says -u is ignored.
Which manpage(s) do I need to read to find out what makes the HDD light
blink regularly though none of the devices connected to the controller
the light is for is mounted? Something might be polling the DVD drives,
and I don't want that. I can't see what it is ...
I don't understand why that bothers you so much. However, depending on
your desktop, turn off the various automount options for media (CD,
DVD, USB drives, cameras, etc.). Under XFCE, it's
Applications Menu->Settings->Removable Drives and Media
Make sure all the mount options are turned off in all the tabs. That
may not stop all the polling...several of the kernel storage device
modules poll periodically and there's not much you can do about that.
