Default gnome mounts all fstab entries

Hi,

I don't know its old behaviour but I just noticed that if gnome is
started, then all my mount points defined in fstab are mounted, despite
that the mount points are defined as noauto.

Anyway that I can disable it?

thanks

Can you post your "/etc/fstab" and your Debian version?

$ grep /mnt/ /etc/fstab
LABEL=os11 /mnt/os11 ext3 noauto,user,dev,suid,exec 0 0 # /dev/sda5
LABEL=os12 /mnt/os12 ext3 noauto,user,dev,suid,exec 0 0 # /dev/sda6
LABEL=os13 /mnt/os13 ext3 noauto,user,dev,suid,exec 0 0 # /dev/sda7
LABEL=vars1 /mnt/vars1 reiserfs noauto,user,dev,suid,exec 0 0 # /dev/sda9
LABEL=export /mnt/export reiserfs noauto,user,dev,suid,exec 0 0 # /dev/
sda10
LABEL=export.img /mnt/export.img reiserfs noauto,user,dev,suid,exec 0 0
# /dev/sda11
LABEL=TOOLS /mnt/TOOLS vfat
noauto,user,dev,suid,exec,umask=000,uid=tong,gid=t ong 0 0 # /dev/sda12

$ mount | grep /mnt/
/dev/sda12 on /mnt/TOOLS type vfat
(rw,umask=000,uid=9999,gid=1001,user=yingli)
/dev/sda6 on /mnt/os12 type ext3 (rw,user=yingli)
/dev/sda3 on /mnt/os1p type ext3 (rw,user=yingli)
/dev/sda7 on /mnt/os13 type ext3 (rw,user=yingli)

So, all un-mounted partitions are mounted; those who have already been
mounted (elsewhere) are not mounted by gnome again (which is good).

Mmm... if I read it correctly, not all the partitions are mounted but
"some", which is even weirdest.

Not auto-mounted (and told to do so):

os11
vars1
export
export.img

Auto-mounted (and *not* told to do so):

os12
os13
TOOLS

Did you migrate from old sysvinit to any new booting system? I recently
was asked to do it after a system update.

Sorry about the confusion. My mistakes. I shouldn't have include those
entries like export, export.img etc.

You can disregards these entries. What really happens here is that, my
/etc/fstab file consists of two parts, one is the normal mounts, e.g.,
export, export.img etc, which are mostly mounted under /, instead of /mnt.

The 2nd part of the file consists all partitions automatically collected
by a script. So what you see those /mnt/ entries are duplicates of my
normal settings, which have been mounted on boot up.

Again, you can disregards these entries. I shouldn't have include them.

Yes, those are the trouble ones. I normally don't mount them. But now
when gnome is started, all of them are mounted, as "removable" partitions.

This is something that I want to disable.

Thanks

Ops, this one was left out.

I've been using file-rc for several years.

Package: file-rc
Replaces: sysv-rc, sysvinit (<< 2.85-3)
Description: Alternative boot mechanism using a single configuration file
This package provides an alternative mechanism to boot the system, to
shut it down and to change runlevels. The /etc/rc?.d/* links will be
converted into one single configuration file /etc/runlevel.conf
instead, which is easier to administrate than symlinks, and is also
more flexible.
.

So I don't know if this answer your question or not. Did you mean the
parallel booting? What's the package name for that?

thanks for your help.

I was referring to "upstart" or "systemd", yep :-)

And I asked because I've read some problems precisely with this, not so
long ago, from Fedora devel list:

systemd and filesystems with noauto
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-August/141367.html

But maybe this has no connection with your issue :-?

Have you considered to open a report at Debian BTS? It seems Ubuntu has
already one opened:

mount noauto not working
