Hi, I'm using FC4 with newest updates and gnome desktop. I have a partition which I don't want to be mounted automatically. Here's the line of my /etc/fstab: /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 ext3 noauto,user 1 0 When I log in, the partition is mounted. When I unmount it it stays umounted until I log out/log in again. Then it's mounted again. Who mounts this partition at login and how can I turn it off? gnome-volume-properties is set up to mount removable drives when hotplugged and when removable media is inserted. Can this be the cause? greetings vassilios
