Hi,
How do I stop gnome automounting a usb hard drive? I ideally need an option, to ask me if I want to mount the drive. This is very annoying when I need to manually mount the drive as read only, as I'm trying to recover data from it.


Done some googling on this, and gnome-volume-manager and gconf are both mentioned, but I dont think I use either of those. I'm using Debian Squeeze.

Thanks!

Yep, that "combo" ("gnome-volume-manager" and "gconf") could work.

Open gconf editor and browse to "apps/nautilus/preferences/", uncheck
"[ ] media_automount". That should avoid auto-mounting USB disks.

Then, you could add an applet to the panel called "disk automounter" and
do it from there.

GNOME implements an "automount" feature in join with udev and
automount-fs, I guess.

About how to get the dialog prompt before mounting a device, dunno if it
is configurable in that way :-? (I barely remember that option was
indeed present in KDE 3.5 but those great days are now gone :-P).

I get a prompt when inserting some sort of media (camera or cell phone
with photos) in oder to perform any action with it but not for mounting
it.

check wether you've got usb-automount also. As name says it is used to
automount usb devices.

Launch gconf-editor, go to /apps/nautilus/preferences, and set
accordingly to your taste the flags media_automount and
media_automount_open

Not yet. How about Trinity KDE 3.5.11?

Yep, it's a good alternative (and a great effort many people is pleased
with) but I -and this is just my personal taste- prefer to stick with
upstream projects (more eyes behind, easier to manage and integrate...).

KDE4 is still a bit inmature for me and in the meantime I already
switched to GNOME, so no way back, at least for now.
