I have added my mount devices in /etc/fstab and they get correctly mounted (2nd partition with ntfs and nas-share with nfs).

I have also disabled automount in Nautilus preferences by using dconf-editor (following this post):

user@server:~$ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.media-handling

org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open

I have a Debian sid system (Wheezy), without any desktop environment (and no Xorg at all).

I can mount my SD-cards, USB sticks, external HDD by label into a specified directory in /media/ manually with mount / umount and the suitable entries in /etc/fstab, but this is compelling, and to restrictive: if I want them to be mounted in /media/<LABEL>, each device with a different <LABEL> n

I am trying to get a USB external hard drive (ext4) to automatically mount when it is plugged in. I used to have it working but has since stopped.

Good day!

I was looking for a way to quickly mount a USB Drive as READ ONLY. I see lots of issues of people having it mount read only when they do want to but in my case I need to ensure the USB device mounts in a READ ONLY state. Is there a way to set hot keys during USB plug in (CTRL-R for example) to force autmount into READ ONLY?

Ubuntu automount configuration 22 weeks 18 hours ago

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and it auto mounts all partitions (windows partions as well as usb )automatically in under /media. I have not done anything in fstab file. How can I see the mount options (like ro.rw) used for this drives?

I am running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on a Sony PIII laptop. I have a Simpletech 250GB USB hard drive that I use for backups and a few other things. It is formatted as Fat32 so that I can use it in several platforms. The drive does not automount at boot or when connected to the system. It is automatically mounted by all my other systems, including Win2K on the same laptop.

I've got an external harddrive that I'd like to auto-mount. It will be present most times when my laptop boots. Where is the "correct" place to mount it?

/media/my-hd: Will litter /media with an empty folder when the hard-drive was not mounted. /mnt/my-hd: I've heard that /mnt itself is supposed to be used as a temporary mount point.
