Binary package hint: mount
besides the Ubuntu feisty installation I have 2 other Linux-partititions
formatted ext3. As they contain another system I do not want Ubuntu to touch
them. So I edited /etc/fstab and added the option 'noauto' for those entries.
Ubuntu does not respect these options and still mounts them at every boot-up.
Example with /dev/sda3:
1. line in fstab:
# /dev/sda3
UUID=72478130-3425-47ca-92e5-7270e8d3b6b2 /media/sda3 ext3 user,noauto
0 0
2. line in 'cat /proc/mounts':
/dev/disk/by-uuid/72478130-3425-47ca-92e5-7270e8d3b6b2 /media/sda3 ext3
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,data=ordered 0 0
The 'noauto' option is just ignored! Linux in no way should mount 'foreign'
filesystems without confirmation by the user
also with respect to security (removable media is a different story).
I thus placed a '#' in front of the line in fstab, now Ubuntu complains
about 'error mounting local filesystems' on every boot.
