My linux system scans my cdrom on boot. Can I disable that feature without removing my cdrom tray?
Why does linux scan my cdrom on boot?
linux;boot;gentoo;data cd
If you are running LVM, or have the LVM tools installed, it will scan for LVM devices during the init sequence. This is controlled by the lvm config file (/etc/lvm/lvm.conf on Debian).The config file may have a commented-out line to exclude /dev/cdrom from its scan. Check this and uncomment it, or substitute a different device name if you don't have /dev/cdrom.In the devices section, you want a line like:filter = [ r|/dev/cdrom| ]
