Disabling CD-ROM Automounting Under GNOME
If you are using the GNOME desktop environment, perform the following steps
to ensure that CD-ROM automounting is turned off:
Click on the "foot" icon in the GNOME Panel.
Choose Programs, then Settings, then Peripherals, and finally CD Properties
from the menus that appear (if you cannot find Programs in the foot menu,
then look directly for Settings).
Unselect all options for both Data CDs and Audio CDs.
Choose OK. Then close the Control Center window.
To turn automounting back on, follow the same steps above, but rather than
unselecting options in step 3, select each option you wish to turn on
instead.
Disabling CD-ROM Automounting Under KDE
If you are using the KDE desktop environment, perform the following steps to
temporarily disable CD-ROM automounting:
Open a terminal window: Click on the "K" menu in the KDE panel. Choose
Utilities, then Konsole.
Type the following command:
killall autorun
This procedure disables the KDE automounter for the current session only.
Once you log out and log into a KDE session again, the CD-ROM automounter
will function as it normally does.
Disabling Other Automounting Software
Whether or not you are using the GNOME or KDE desktop environments, running
other automounting software such as autofs If you are not sure whether
autofs or amd is running, perform the following steps to ensure they are
turned off:
Open a terminal window.
Become the root user by typing the following command:
su root
Stop the autofs service:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs stop
The message "No such file or directory" is a normal occurrence which means
that autofs is not installed on your system. Go on to the next step.
The message "FAILED" is a normal occurrence indicating that autofs is
installed, but was not running. Go on to the next step.
Stop the amd service:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/amd stop
As above, the message "No such file or directory" is a normal occurrence
indicating that amd is not installed on your system. Likewise, The message
"FAILED" is a normal occurrence which indicates that amd is installed, but
was not running.
