HAL wasn't really the culprit here. Besides, I couldn't make heads or tails of how HAL identifies my hard drives. gnome-mount, via gconf, or some combination including those, was. Rather than trying to find the relevant parts in the gconf tree (which I really don't know how to navigate anyway), I simply added each device into /etc/fstab with the noauto option. Now they don't mount anywhere. So problem solved. Dan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
