Hi All,

I had done some searching on LQ and Google and couldn't find out how to disable the automounting feature that is default on SuSE 9.X.

I did the obvious and went to the SuSE website. The solution:

edit your fstab.

/dev/dvd /media/dvd subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0

to

/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,exec,sync 0 0

Just wanted to let you know.

Erik

I have a love/hate thing for subfs
I like the fact that most things work well
but some older apps want to look at the static /media/dvd or /media/cdrom
unfortunatly when a disk is inserted it creates a new directory with the label from the disk
does anyone know how to make it stop making new directories under /media ?

Maybe 'Active Polling' and 'autostart' is still on in suseplugger?

I've posted a reply on this --how to keep the old Static names --

Please read this post

hopes this helps

(perhaps if enough people want it it should be added to the FAQS)

Cheers
