not adding anyone to the plugdev user group should accomplish the same thing as disabling usb ports I think

Removing usb-storage module should be working. What problem do you get, module is in use?

hi

In my system modprobe -r not working. i had also tried to blacklist usb-storage the module but it's not worth

Do you try another command, rmmod, if modprobe -r didn't work?

viveck · 03-15-2012, 11:06 PM

rmmod is also not working. can u tel me which particular file is responsible to mount the usb? or the exact communication when i attached a usb?

The module-init-tools packet include insmod, rmmod, modprobe and so on.

The USB mount doesn't use special functionality in mount module. The util-linux package include mount tool.

Easy way- go into your BIOS, turn off all the USB ports, reboot. Finished.

*edit- dont turn off the USB keyobard/mouse ports if you are using USB input devices.

You can try unbind driver from device. I think this better solution, then trying to remove driver. Just look in /sys/module/usb-storage/ for unbind file (in subdirectory) and echo device along bus number to unbind file (as root, sudo doesn't work!)
