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?
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.
That might work. I could add 30 entries to fstab: /dev/sd[cde][1-9]
My suspicion is that whatever is mounting the drive is treating it special and might ignore fstab. Ideally I'd learn the the name of the automounter and what database to edit.
autofs is what's mounting it. But if you turn it off, you'll have to manually mount anything that's not in /etc/fstab.
Sounds like gnome's trying to be WinDoze....
