On my system I edit the /etc/fstab file. File systems that are 
automounted have 'auto' in their list of options.  File systems not to 
be automounted have 'noauto' instead.

Don't get this mixed up with auto as the file system, which tells the 
system to make an educated guess as to what file system is used -- 
useful for things like floppy disks.

The file system nake is the third field on a line in /etc/fstab; the 
comma-separated options constitute the fourth field.
