Most of the time, if I plug a USB drive into my computer, gnome/centos/whatever will ask me what I want to do with it. With a Hitachi Lifestudio, all the partitions mount without asking me.
How do I stop that behavior?
My suspicion is that the same kind of mechanism is what makes candy drops work. So far as I know, my backup drive is not candy, but I would still like to be able to control my computer.
Not sure, but if you made entries for it in /etc/fstab that explicitly said not to mount, that might do the trick.
It looks as if the "noauto" option should do the trick.
