Hmhm, that doesn't look really convenient to me. My needs aren't exactly
for broken drives purposes, but more for power saving facilities. I
disable polling on my dvd drive and just enable it when needed, which
can be done quite easily from hal at the moment.

It seems this has been dropped from udisks, maybe laptop-mode or the
various *-power-manager be able to do something about it, but it's too
bad imho.

Anyway, thanks for your help :)

Cheers,
