I would like to prevent that disk to be mounted via the subfs mechanism, but want to use my own mount parameters. Actually, I don't want to turn off the automatism completely, that's convenient for USB sticks. I just want to turn it off for this one disk.
Therefore, how can I do that?

$> cat /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/no_usbdisk_automount.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">

  <match key="storage.drive_type" string="disk">
   <match key="storage.bus" string="usb">
    <match key="info.vendor" string="WDC WD30">
     <match key="info.product" string="00JB-00KFA0">
      <merge key="storage.policy.should_mount" type="bool">false</merge>
     </match>
    </match>
   </match>
  </match>
 </device>
</deviceinfo>

Vendor and product strings need to be changed to match your 500GB USB
disk (see "lshal" for details). Do not forget to restart HAL.

Great, this worked like a charm! You guys rock!

Actually, I placed this file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/20local/ and not in /usr/share/; it'll better survive updates on my system, as I tend to migrate only /etc/ and not /usr/share/.

Best,
