I have a USB drive that I use for backup and in gnome (42.4) it gets automatically mounted on /run/media/<user>/<drive>. However, I want to export that as an NFS drive. Obviously this means that the drive be mounted under a directory independent of the user, and whether or not the user has started a gnome session. So I can put an entry in /etc/fstab for that drive, using the UUID, but how do I keep gnome from mounting it on /run/media in the first place? I'm guessing it has to be a gnome setting somewhere. For kicks, I asked chatGPT and this is is what it suggested: 1. Open the "Settings" application from the Applications menu. 2. In the left pane, click on "Details". 3. In the right pane, click on "Removable Media" in the list of options. 4. Under the "Removable Media" section, uncheck the "Automatically mount removable drives" option. which is not bad, except that in my gnome (42.4) I do not have a "Details" item on the left pane. I do have a "Removable Media" item, but it doesn't say anything about usb drives.
You could check the "don't prompt or run programs" checkbox, but that will apply to all devices. You might be able to create a udev rule to isolate that specific device.
