SuSE 10.0

Dear all,
I would like to know how to tell whatever does the automounting
on SuSE 10.0 to not do its thing with either a particular
or all hard disks (preferably the first).

I am coming from Slackware and I don't like so much to be out
of my control, but I can't find what is responsible for this!

Thanks,
Riddick

/etc/fstab is probably whats doing it. Try putting noauto in the fourth column after the ones you don't want automounting. Make sure you have a startup disk, or know how to get into the system without one, because I think if you screw up fstab, the system wont start next time you reboot it. I don't run Suse though, they may have an additional automounter deamon running to pull in all that stuff on startup, or when a new disk is found, or whatever, not sure.

yeah ... I think something else handles it because there is nothing specified in fstab other than
an entry called usbfs (I think) which is noauto anyway!
