From: James Allsopp on 11 Aug 2010 06:00 Hi, How do I stop gnome automounting a usb hard drive? I ideally need an option, to ask me if I want to mount the drive. This is very annoying when I need to manually mount the drive as read only, as I'm trying to recover data from it. Done some googling on this, and gnome-volume-manager and gconf are both mentioned, but I dont think I use either of those. I'm using Debian Squeeze. Thanks!

I'm using Debian > Squeeze. Yep, that "combo" ("gnome-volume-manager" and "gconf") could work. Open gconf editor and browse to "apps/nautilus/preferences/", uncheck "[ ] media_automount". That should avoid auto-mounting USB disks. Then, you could add an applet to the panel called "disk automounter" and do it from there.

GNOME implements an "automount" feature in join with udev and automount-fs, I guess. About how to get the dialog prompt before mounting a device, dunno if it is configurable in that way :-? (I barely remember that option was indeed present in KDE 3.5 but those great days are now gone :-P). I get a prompt when inserting some sort of media (camera or cell phone with photos) in oder to perform any action with it but not for mounting it.

As name says it is used to automount usb devices. -- Erwan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
