did you google for "udev usb automount disable"? try to search for "write udev rules" instead. find out how to automount usb drives but instead of doing so: comment out the rules that match in /etc/udev/rules.d/(udev rule file).
"when i plugged usb drive, my box mounts it automatically in /media/<LABEL> directory. LABEL should should not exist, else, it will be mounted in /media/<LABEL>1 (appending 1,2, etc if that directory again exists)." as i understand it, the mountpoint is autogenerated (in my distro, at least)in the udev rules as well. here it is listed as /mnt/usb, /mnt/usb1.../mnt/usbn. note, it starts without a number. so, if i plug in a partitioned external HD, /dev/sda1 is mounted to /mnt/usb, /dev/sda2 to /mnt/usb1....etc. does this answer your ques? sorry if its too general but im sure youll find the correct line to comment out. loiscastillo On 6/28/07, Edel SM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
thanks sa replies. btw, i didnt mentioned that i dont have X on this machine. i tried searching google for hotplug/udev to disable usbdrive automounting but no luck so far. another reason i want it manually mounted for other options passed to mount command (acl,data=journal,sync). i also have set that mount options using tune2fs -o acl,journal_data /dev/sdaX but not no effect. maybe i should play with ^ and + to the options passed.
