I have a PD/CD ATAPI drive with removable media. The PD part gets mapped to sdc. When PD media is absent, something in FC3T3 tries to access it roughly every two seconds, and each access causes 20 lines of syslog (see below). Makes for _really_ large logs (> 10 MB/day).
What program/process is doing this? Is it really necessary?
Thanks, Willem Riede.
