[gentoo-user] How to turn off automounting usb drives

[felix]

I have the opposite problem from luis jure.  I do not mount drives
often, so I am not sure exactly when this problem started, but gentoo
is now automounting drives and I have never wanted that.  I run fvwm
with a lot of xterms, so it is not the window manager doing things for
me, it is something in the usb system.

My system is ~amd64 running the 2.6.37-gentoo-r1 kernel, and this
problem has been happening for a month or two; I thought at first it
was the usual gentoo temporary screwup, but it hasn't gone away.

Has some default usb policy changed?

perhaps you could go the opposite way than me, like explicitly setting
something like AdminIdentities=unix-user:0 ? just a wild guess, don't take
my advise too seriously, i'm just beginning to understand all this
policykit stuff...

Don't worry, when you understand it really well, something new will come 
along.  Then you get to rinse and repeat.  :/

Sometimes.  Then again, sometimes the "new thing" works better.  So far, 
udev and polkit seem to work much better for me than hal did.   It's 
still young yet tho.  There is still time for smoke to come out of my 
keyboard after a upgrade.  lol

Let's keep our fingers crossed.  ;-)
