Hi,

I would like to disable all sort of CD & USB driver polling.

if I run "ps ax | grep poll" I get

15528 ?        S      0:00 devkit-disks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0 /dev/sdb
16612 ?        S      0:00 hald-addon-storage: no polling on /dev/sdb because it is explicitly disabled
16615 ?        S      0:00 hald-addon-storage: no polling on /dev/sr0 because it is explicitly disabled


I have manually stopped hal from polling /dev/sdb and /dev/sr0.
What is devkit-disks-daemon? Is it replacing hal at polling?
