I haven't rebooted, and probably won't till 2.6.32-rc8 comes out. The reboot to -rc7 predates this by about 3 days. >Stuff on /media is usually mount by gnome-mount I believe >same if you inserted a CD in the DVD drive or plugged in a flash drive >in your USB port. As a kde user, I didn't even know it was installed. A perusal of the man page says I should ask it for its settings like this: ===================== [root@coyote /]# gnome-mount --display-settings --device /dev/sdd Displaying settings for drive (affects all volumes, unless overridden) hal udi: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_SATA_ST31000340AS_9QJ0WMTT There are no settings; you can use --write-settings ===================== With a reply like that, I would not suspect it of any wrong doing unless specifically commanded to do so. No entries were found in the logs either. Thanks Andy. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
