I understand the the way to stop the constant polling of my CD-ROM drive (only used every few years to install the OS) is to disable the hal service. Is there any downside to disabling hal other that the lack of auto-insert notification?
Just edit /etc/hal/hald.conf and change storage_media_check_enabled and storage_automount_enabled_hint to false.
