    Disable auto mount in FC10

    Hi,

    Whenever I insert a flash drive, it FC 10 automounts it. I want to ensure that Gnome / KDE is not configured to automount removable disks. I am using Gnome.

    Thanks for your help.

    Tried both the commands after root login (# su -)but got error.
    Code:
    [root@localhost vinay]# service autofs stop
    autofs: unrecognized service
    Here are contents of /etc/fstab:
    Code:
    [root@localhost vinay]# cat /etc/fstab
    /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
    UUID=2792857e-845b-4ecf-884f-71801e02f201 /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
    tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
    devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
    sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
    proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
    /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

    try gnome-volume-properties, it under System -> Preferences -> Hardware or run from command line.
    In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
