@Jean, it's 2016, 16.04, and this bug is still present... Tried `noauto` + a lot of different combinations, it is always ignored and mounted.

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.
