Mandrake 10.1: CD mounting problems


I've just installed Mandrake 10.1 on my laptop and desktop computers, and noticed that CDs are automatically mounted when /mnt/cdrom is accessed - whether through the command line or a graphical file manager, e.g. Konqueror. This would be convenient if it worked properly, but it doesn't! Occasionally when I take a CD out and insert another, /mnt/cdrom shows the contents of the old CD.

In previous versions of Mandrake I fixed this kind of problem by turning off supermount for the CD-ROM drive, but supermount isn't enabled this time. So...

1. What automatic mounting system does Mandrake 10.1 use for CDs?

and

2. How do I turn it off??

Starting with 10.1, they changed cdrom supermount to auto. If you change the /etc/fstab entries for your cdroms from auto to supermount, things should work the way they did in 10.0 and prior versions.
