At work we use flash drives as bootable media and have various scripts that format the flash drive, install boot loaders, and untar an operating system image.

On older versions of suse it was a nightmare to make this stop as every time an fdisk finished, etc the disk would be re-detected and auto-mounted.
If there is a system wide way of auto-mounting please make sure there is a system-wide way to make it stop!
Of course. The auto-mounting policy should be written in /etc/udev/rules.d/81-mount.rules
An administrator can edit this file to disable auto-mounting.
What about users? You are saying users should have to manually edit udev rule files just to disable automounting? Especially when at least some desktop environments provide GUIs to control their own automounting already? You are talking about a massive feature regression just to remove a small daemon. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
