Hi people (and others)
I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to disable the auto mount
function for usb hard drives.
Every time I connect a HD via a usb HD dock. It auto mounts the drive.
Is there anyway to stop this? I think it's udisksd or something. Google
was
useless regarding how to disable it.
I'm asking PCLinuxOS people but I expect I'll get an answer here faster.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kate, you can write your drive to /etc/fstab using noauto.
If you want to add it to fstab and need some help let us know the dev
name or uuid, file system type and where you want to mount it, I use
/home/jimmy/sdb1 or it could be /mount/sdb1 or /media/sdb1. Here's a
example of how I handle sdb1 on this desktop.
'/dev/sdb1 /home/jimmy/01-SDB1 ext4 noauto,users,exec,relatime 0 0'
But what you're seeing seems to be a PC Linux OS thing and is not the
behavior of devuan or debian.

I agree, it is a pclos thing. They use udisks2. Which is notorious for
automount problems. I can't uninstall it because trinity is dependant on it.
I know how to edit the fstab, but would rather not. It's also not going to
help because it's rarely the same drive twice. This becomes a problem
when/because I'm working on client drive data recovery.
I appreciate the help though,
Thank you Jimmy

I've tested pclos a few times over the years, I wanted to love it, but
always got bitten, for me it was hardware that was not supported and we
could not fix it.
Here's one I've tested, it's a nice tight system with the Trinity
Desktop, you can run it live and/or install and if you have the skills
you can convert to a pure Trinity+Devuan system as none of the hocus
pocus they've done is needed.

It would be nice to see a Trinity+Devuan live .iso.
Cheers,
