Why? You like doing things the hard way? It's kind of tedious, isn't it? I can see disallowing auto-run file execution--I do--but what's to be gained by having to go through the ritual "mount ..." incantion?
Speed? When my system automounts it uses that sync option that means hopeless transfer rates. I measured the difference between synced and non-synced with my firewire HD, and the difference was something crazy like 16x as long with a synced mount! If someone knows a way to tune the automount parameters for individual devices, I'd be very pleased to know the details. -- Steve Boddy
