don't want mount points for some drives!
Just switched from FC1 to Mandrake 10 - wanting a stable 2.6.x distro. One of the problems I'm having with the distro is that every time the machine boots mandrake 10, it insists on creating mount points for every single drive installed on my machine.
Example:
hda1 - WinXP dynamic partition/NTFS
hdc and hdd - DVD and DVD burner
sda1 - Linux /boot
sda2 <extended>
sda3 - FAT32
sda5 - linux swap
sda6 - linux /
sdb1 - NTFS (basic)
I've gone into the partition tool, and told it to have NO mount point for hda1 (which it wants to mount as FAT32 oddly enough), to mount sda3 as /mnt/archive, and sdb1 as /mnt/win_d.
However, after I reboot, my fstab contains:
none /mnt/archive supermount dev=/dev/sda3,fs=vfat,--,user,dev 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/win_d ntfs umask=0022,user,nls=iso8859-1,noauto,ro 0 0
none /mnt/hd supermount dev=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850 0 0
none /mnt/hd2 supermount dev=/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850 0 0
... If I get rid of the /mnt/hd and /mnt/hd2 lines using either direct editting of fstab, or the mandrake partition tool, they'll come back the next boot.
Is there ANY way to tell whatever boot process mandrake has going on to NOT do this? Of particular concern to me is that insistance of adding hda1 (ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1) at all. That's a WinXP dynamic drive with NTFS partitions - and I _really_ don't want linux messing with it...
Thanks for any help in advance..
