   I think its another side effect of kudzu's updfstab.  I disabled
kudzu at startup, and only run it when I know I've changed something.
I've seen updfstab delete cdrom entries in fstab (moved to fstab.REVOKE)
and intermittently wipe /dev (at least, that's what I'm blaming).

   I can't for the life of me figure out what's actually calling
updfstab, or even, to be honest, given what it gets up to, *why* you'd
call it (scribbling links in /dev, deleting lines in fstab).

   If it's this, look for a 'kudzu' option for your dvd mount in
/etc/fstab.  Then remove it.


   If anyone knows why updfstab might actually be useful, I'd be
interested to hear!  Or even what might be calling it (magicdev?)/

As far as I can ubderstand the role of updfstab is to add and remove
entries in fstab for removable devices. To be manipulated by
updfstab the entry in  fstab must start with kudzu option.
