With a Hitachi Lifestudio, all the partitions mount without asking me.

How do I stop that behavior?

Not sure, but if  you made entries for it in /etc/fstab that
explicitly said not to mount, that might do the trick.

It looks as if the "noauto" option should do the trick.

That might work.
I could add 30 entries to fstab:  /dev/sd[cde][1-9]

My suspicion is that whatever is mounting the drive
is treating it special and might ignore fstab.
Ideally I'd learn the the name of the automounter and what database to edit.
