 Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2007 11:56 pm Post subject: who is automounting? |
 |
|
hi guys,
whenever i login (using gdm+gnome), 2 of my partitions are automatically mounted,
and i don't want them to.
all i want is to be able to mount them (by user, not root) on demand, preferably graphically and not w/ terminal
i know this must have been answered many times here, but i just can't seem to find it...
which program is automounting? how do i stop this?
(i hope this is the right place to ask, as i think it has something to do with gnome or one of it's components...)
partition layout:
| Code: |
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 7096 56894197+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda3 * 7097 9729 21149572+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda5 14 141 1028128+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 142 5007 39086113+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 5008 7096 16779861 7 HPFS/NTFS
|
/etc/fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,defaults 1 2
/dev/sda6 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
#/dev/sda3 /mnt/WinXP ntfs noauto,ro,user,umask=0222,nls=utf8 0 0
#/dev/sda7 /mnt/Backup ntfs noauto,ro,user,umask=0222,nls=utf8 0 0
#/dev/sda7 /mnt/Backup ntfs-3g noauto,user,umask=0222,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
#/dev/hdb1 /mnt/adhoc ntfs noauto,ro,user,umask=0222,nls=utf8 0 0
#/dev/sdb1 /mnt/USB auto noauto,user,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

the partitions that mount are the two NTFS ones, sda7 & sda3
thanks,
Nir

Uncomment their entries (delete the # in front of the line) so that you can take advantage of the "noauto" mount option.

that's how it was at first... and still was mounted
i actually tried commenting while experimenting to get it to stop mounting,
and just left it like this.
the only thing that changed is the mount point..

this is a good question. I too have tried "auto", and it mounts (although not on the desktop), "noauto", and it mounts (and ON the desktop), and takiing out noauto/auto, which just mounts the same as "auto".

Ok I think I figured it out a little more.
What I said was correct in that inserting "noauto" would place the volume on the desktop, but I know why. The fstab is correct, "noauto" will not mount it, but "Removable Drives and Media" is responsible. RDM reads the /etc/fstab figures it is a drive that is removable and mounts it. In mine it is not, it is a seperate-partition. You can uncheck all the removable items in the RDM preferences (under storage), and the drives won't be automatically mounted.
Perhaps there is a way to blacklist certain drives?

I'm having this issue on my notebook since gnome-2.18 . Strangely on my desktop pc this doesn't appear but I cannot find where's the difference between the two.
Any news?

Onip,
to this day i have RDM completely turned off, and nothing (inc. USB storage and CDs) is automounted.
it's not a complete fix, but works for me
