But I actually still wonder what could take so long to recognize FAT32 fs. For example, cd9660 and udf on the same media are recognized very fast, and fat32 on usb stick stick is recognized very fast too. So it seems that there might be something unexpected for hal in this combo (dvd-ram+fat32). Maybe it's block size (2048), maybe something else. -- Andriy Gapon
