Which partition (device type) is this? Is it some kind of USB stick or other mass storage device? (as those get usually mounted to /media/disk) Could it be there is an UI automounter involved?
This is a windows partion, with fat32 partion and it is not any external drive or usb
Anyway, please try to reproduce the bug and attach YaST logs
I have reproduced it, and will attach screen shots and logs. Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

How can i disable the automount mechanism from mounting my drives automatically? Is this some setting in yast?
There is certainly some tool to adjust automounting preferences in your desktop (GNOME?), but unfortunately, I know nothing about it :( However, you can achieve the same in YaST partitioner as well. In edit partition dialog, set a fixed mount point for the partition e.g. /media/disk, click 'Fstab options' button and in a dialog that pops up, select 'Do not mount at system start-up'. This will create an entry in fstab for the partition and add 'noauto' to the mounting options. i.e. the partition will be mounted only at user's request, not automatically on system boot. Otherwise, resolving as feature -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
