It depends on whether you want to still automount USB drives or not.

Thanks Andrei.

I want the behavior I got used to > 10 years of openSUSE experience. USB flashdisks should be recognized and mounted but internal hard drives should not be touched. Only file systems mentioned in /etc/fstab should be mounted according to fstab rules.

Try running KDE's System Settings and click on the Removable Devices icon. As well as global settings for removable media, you can change settings for specific devices in there. That should allow you to get the behaviour you want. Cheers, Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry for the late answer but I didn't work on that computer in the last days.

1. In the "device notifier" settings under removable devices none of the drives are set to "automount on login" or "automount on attach". Still some (and only some) of the partitions are mounted.

2. Login shell should not be able to override basic or system wide setting. These partitions are not set to be mounted, KDE4 should respect this.

If I login on a terminal window, eg vt2, or login to KDE3 session only root fs is mounted: ~> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 29G 9.8G 18G 36% / devtmpfs 997M 0 997M 0% /dev tmpfs 1003M 76K 1003M 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 1003M 2.1M 1001M 1% /run tmpfs 1003M 0 1003M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

If I login to KDE4 session other partitons are mounted too: ~> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 29G 9.8G 18G 36% / devtmpfs 997M 0 997M 0% /dev tmpfs 1003M 76K 1003M 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 1003M 2.1M 1001M 1% /run tmpfs 1003M 0 1003M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sdb3 7.3G 6.6G 341M 96% /run/media/user/a6e17ce4-1556-4028-aa01-41927b903771 /dev/sda1 37G 35G 512M 99% /run/media/user/6801bf85-aa88-4c7f-a39c-8fe6303fba72 /dev/sda2 37G 35G 86M 100% /run/media/user/558f18ff-36c8-4b0b-b9ff-ab326b52d276

Where and how KDE4 sets to mount these partitions (/dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb3)? Why only these 3 other partitons are mounted and not others (eg /dev/sda6, /dev/sdb7)?

Thanks,

Istvan

Hi Istvan, That does seem odd - I've don't have any other file systems on my internal drive these days so can't say for sure that it does what you want, however I have been able to use those settings to configure auto-mounting on my machine. I've set certain USB drives to auto-mount when they are plugged in and the others to only mount when I click on them in Dolphin (or choose open with File Manager in the device notifier). I If you right-click the device notifier and choose Device Notifier Settings, there is a setting there that's not in the System Settings - you can choose one of: - Removable devices only - Non-removable devices only - All devices Mine is set to Removable devices only, is yours?

Well... the distinction between external/internal disks is not that simple, as all devices appear as /dev/sdX

What I do is disable automatic mount of any device in the desktop. If possible.

Otherwise, add an entry in fstab for those internal devices you don't want mounted, set with option "noauto". I'm unsure if this will still try to fsck them on boot, better set the sixth field to zero in this case. If you never will mount them, use type "none".

I added the following lines to fstab: UUID=6801bf85-aa88-4c7f-a39c-8fe6303fba72 /disk/1 ext3 noauto 0 0 UUID=558f18ff-36c8-4b0b-b9ff-ab326b52d276 /disk/2 ext3 noauto 0 0 UUID=a6e17ce4-1556-4028-aa01-41927b903771 /disk/3 ext3 noauto 0 0 Now the disks are mounted under /disk instead of /run/media/user, but still mounted:

df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 29G 9.8G 18G 36% / devtmpfs 997M 0 997M 0% /dev tmpfs 1003M 76K 1003M 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 1003M 2.1M 1001M 1% /run tmpfs 1003M 0 1003M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda1 37G 35G 512M 99% /disk/1 /dev/sda2 37G 35G 86M 100% /disk/2 /dev/sdb3 7.3G 6.6G 341M 96% /disk/3

The fstab entry and noauto options didn't help. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It seems a bug or bad behaviour in KDE4. I use XFCE most of the time.

I observed something similar in XFCE when it mounts /dev/loop that I create. If anything, that is the last thing I would call "removable suitable for automount". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

One problem is how to detect "USB flash disks".

The affected disks are not USB flash disks. They are non-removable SATA drives.

Udisks2 dropped the notion of "removable" drives due to rather vague definition of them. Instead it now provides hints, one hint being

Can we say it's a regression? Even systems 10 years ago could clearly make a difference between a USB flash disk and an IDE/ATA disk. This never was not a problem in KDE3-openSUSE.

HintAuto(Mount). I checked on TW with XFCE (the one I have currently available) and removable drives manager mounts partition of new loop device even though HintAuto is correctly set to "false". Disabling "Mount removable drives when hot-plugged" stops this auto mount.

I was about to suggest setting HintAuto to false but this example shows that it really depends on your desktop environment. Check what value hint has now (udisksctl info -b /dev/sdXN); if it is already false, this is KDE issue and I did not use it since several years so cannot help here. If HintAuto is set to true, it becomes UDisks2 issue and we revisit it.

Thanks, Can't you add an fstab entry fr that partition with noauto or what ever to make it a system drive which is not mounted by default? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
