We need that what is "umounted" manually sticks.
procedural change :^), temporarily edit fstab to not "auto-mount" the subject fs, perform the work, restore the "auto-mount".
That's a hack. A dirty one, if I may say so. What Andrei proposes is way more reasonable. My fstab is ... wait.

Recently I was doing some maintenance using the rescue image, which has no entries in fstab to mount hard disks, or another 13.1 in another disk. I don't remember. So I changed partitions, adding and deleting some. When I exited, dunno what, perhaps gparted or the yast partitioner - all my hard disk partitions were mounted. Which I strictly did not want, because I wanted to run a verbose fsck before replaying journal logs, for debugging a problem. Even without that need, to continue formatting and repairing I needed to umount manually all that crap. I don't need that feature, I want it out. Or a way to easily disable it on all partitions, existing or new, with a command. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
