automount and etc/fstab

[sigi]

Hi all,

since I reinstalled my system, I'm wondering, why my second hdd is
always mounted automatically after each new boot.

My /etc/fstab shows for this two partitions on this disk the following
entries:

/dev/hdb3 /daten1 ext3 noauto,rw,user 0 2
/dev/hdb1 /daten2 ext3 noauto,rw,user 0 2

I thought, that this entries should prevent the automount - and I
think, this worked before.

Can anyone give me a hint, which other package manages the mount-options
during boot-time? In the past it was everytime enough to edit
/etc/fstab ...


Thanks for help,
sigi.

Greetings:

Gnome has an auto-mounter that works with the hotplug system to pick up
and mount CDs, USB-Sticks, and the like. Perhaps that is picking up the
drive and mounting it for you. It picks up my /dev/sdc and mounts it
without any intervention on the part of my /etc/fstab file.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot, this helped.
Never heard of this annoying Windows-like option in Gnome - and didn't
have it in my formerly installation.
