Along these lines, but slightly offtopic: it is also kind of mildly
annoying that GEOM can not detect that just burnt CD-R(W) has a
filesystem on it, you have to eject/reinsert media to be able to mount
it. One didn't have to do it in old pre-devfs/pre-geom days.
I do not have any suggestions on how to fix it, though :-(
