Actually, I am not sure this is a bug in gnome-volume-manager, but a
consequence of the distribution policy regarding package “hal”, and more
exactly the file
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi.
As per the lines 111 to 124 of that file, fixed partitions included in fstab,
not already mounted, and with “noauto” among the mount options, are flagged as
volume.ignore = false. gnome-volume-manager then mounts them.
One way to avoid it would be to include in the file
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi
(location recommended by the hal documentation, see
http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/hal-spec/hal-spec.html#fdi-search-paths)
a section as the following one:
<device>
<match key="linux.fstab.mountpoint" exists="true">
<match key="linux.fstab.options" contains="noauto">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
(There are surely plenty of other “match key” combinations to get the same
results). This is, IMHO, what Dirk R. Gently was referring to when he mentioned
"blacklist".
