[Cialug] Hal-addon-stor

Wed Feb 3 09:06:41 CST 2010

I'm trying to figure out how to stop the hal-addon-stor process from running
all the time on a VM that I've got.  I've got one virtual DVD drive, but it
was used for install, and probably won't ever be used for anything else.
The system is pretty much idle right now, and the top CPU user is
hal-addon-stor.  I've tried hal-disable-polling, but it doesn't appear as
though it's available in CentOS 5.4.  Anyone have any suggestions?
