It is there all the time, apparently because it reads an entry in /etc/fstab. > And if I understand you correctly, there is no fstab entry for the > device - neither written by fstab-sync nor manually, right? No, there *is* an entry for this in /etc/fstab. But I would like to get away from this because: I have some plugin devices that are vfat partitions and some are Linux partitions. Having dedicated fstab entries means that I cannot just insert whichever device whenever as the fstab entry for /dev/sda1 may be set up for a vfat partition, and if I plug in a linux partitioned device as the first USB device, it probably wouldn't mount (though I haven't tried this). Bottom line is that I cannot get hotplug events, nor fstab-sync to work properly.
