I think that you should disable mounting of media that you don't want to use. As far as I recall it is possible from sam.

Why? They are enabled only when you use them: Needs to be mounted...Disabling them means to remove the devices, are you sure that is what you want?

Its a part of the security hardening thing. I just want to disable the kernal modules associated with them.Will changing the state of cdfs module to unused do the trick?
