Well, I have finally found the problem... It very simply involves the single setting [system>preferences>removable drives and media>storage>mount removable media when inserted]. Deselecting this makes noauto work as usual. I also managed to remove the desktop drive icons; open terminal and type "gconf-editor" and deselect [/apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible].
The question now is why the developer/s decided that a gnome preference (and a non-passworded one at that!) should override fstab... If this has indeed been corrected in Gutsy as Ingo suggested, then hopefully in means that the devs have reverted to the regular approach of giving fstab full command of mounting drives. -- /dev/sda3 is mounted despite the 'noauto' option in fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120829 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
