Don't know about per-user, but this changes a lot in Fedora 12.
Prior to fedora 12, things were managed by hal, and obscure
files like /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-stop-hal-stop.fdi containing
this stuff worked to hide my backup disk:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="volume.label" string="BACKUP">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
with fedora 12, everything moved to udev and DeviceKit
and the different obscure file
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-zzz-local.rules has this:
# tell annoying tools on system there is a friggin reason I didn't mount
# these things and they shouldn't go mounting them either.
#
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="BACKUP", ENV{DKD_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
Obviously repeat lines for as many different labels as desired.
This seems to have the effect of completely hiding the
partitions with those labels. Nautilus doesn't automount
them and put annoying icons on desktop and the GTK file
browser doesn't show them as choices to browse.
