If I insert a CD/DVD into my Device, the device is blocked, and I can’t put the CD/DVD out without to do Eject in the Device Notifier.
This is annoying. How to disable that??

This behavior is normal and prevents ejecting a DVD while it is mounted into the file system. I don’t feel it is all that much trouble to go to the Device Notifier and eject the media when you are done using it. I am not aware of any method to change this operation, but perhaps we will see some other suggestions here. It is frustrating at first, trying to eject a CD/DVD and thinking there is something wrong, but once you understand the motive and know the way to eject the media, it is really no big deal, in my opinion.
Thank You,

did the box your openSUSE came in have “Not annoying, just free and
easy.” printed on it?
if not, take it back and exchange it for the Free and Easy version…or
get a refund and use to buy something more easy… >:(>:(

But honestly I would say that the behaviour that the cd is not simply
ejected when it is mounted is the less annoying feature compared to the
behaviour that you can eject the cd by accident while it is in use.
In this way the linux behaviour and its KDE equivalent is foolproof.

I haven’t had this problem other than when I used the cd drive in a particular way. You may have a similar problem.
When I burn a cd or dvd I usually open the app 1st and put the disc in later. The auto mount stuff has kicked in even when k3b is running. Where this proved a problem was when I verified the disc after burning. It locked up k3b and the burner. K3b for some reason ejects then shuts before verifying. The shut fired up the auto mount and so on.
If you are having the auto mount popping up when you aren’t using it clicking do nothing may help.
Having sympathy for the devs I can see that closing all of the what if’s can take some time. Testing tends to be done in the way they expect the kit to be used.

Yes, intentional. It is needed to make the kernel reread it, as a new
burned media, not unburned.

That’s amazing. When the kernel was updated some time ago concerning cd/dvd bruning the man behind ks3b at the time had a lot of trouble using it. I’m surprised the kernel doesn’t offer another method of doing that. On the other hand maybe the auto mount should check what is going on at the kde level. Maybe k3b would have to signal that it was doing that and currently doesn’t. Closing these sorts of holes can be very time consuming.
