unable to turn off auto mount in suse on embedded board

I'm working on a linux project in which I want to store messages on usb mounted device. The problem is that I want to manually choose which device and have my program mount it for my using the system() command. However, whenever I put in a drive Linux automatically mounts it in /media/usbdisk1. I checked and there is neither automount nor autofs on the computer, and I edited the fstab file to mount to a different place, but this does not seem to help. Any ideas?

This is the line in my /etc/fstab file for usb file systems. My SuSE system doesn't automount USB devices.

usbfs                /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      noauto                0 0

Or you could just remove all entries in fstab that have anything to do with the USB device.

The problem that I had with SuSE was that when I shut the system down it would add an fstab entry for any mounted file systems. I just got in the habit of manually unmounting all of the file systems except the root file system before I shut down the system.

Hi!

Can someone help me with pointers to download out Suse10.3 for single board computer? Minimum package install!


Thanks!

The largest parts of the package are associated with X. If you don't install the X window system, then your install will be really small.
