Doh! I've realised why this is happening. Gnome menu -> Desktop -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media ... provides three check boxes: Mount removable drives when hotplugged Mount removable media when inserted Browse removable media when inserted I've unchecked the last of these three and *none* of my partitions are being auto-mounted anymore, which is much better. I'd have thought I'd have to uncheck the first of these but I suppose switching the thing on is different from actually plugging it in? Anyhow, this is much better because Disk Mounter creates a nice little panel icon for mounting or unmounting the partitions on the drive, provided I write corresponding fstab entries... which I've done.
