Easy way:
Create an entry in /etc/fstab to mount the DVD. But you will have to
use the mount command every time you want to mount a DVD.
Hard way:
Create a file in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/95userpolicy/ called
dvd.fdi with something like:
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="storage.drive_type" string="cdrom">
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">ro</append>
<merg key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">sync</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">dirsync</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">noatime</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">nodiratime</appe
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">quiet</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">remount</append>
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options"
type="strlist">exec</append>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
I am not sure I have it correct, and I have not tested it. I am
still learning to create HAL rules. I am not sure if the "append
key" in the first rule will replace the old mount option list.
Hopefully, someone that know HAL or XML will correct me.
