There are two mistakes in the advice offered. One is major: the rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ has to be used after 80-udisks.rules in /lib/udev/rules.d, so would be better put in 85-no-automount.rules. A relatively minor mistake (which was reported in your syslog) is that 'subsystem' should be 'SUBSYSTEM'. It should be sufficient to leave out 'ACTION' and 'SUBSYSTEM' and have the rule as: ENV{UDISKS_AUTOMOUNT_HINT}="never" or ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_NOPOLICY}="1" The latter is used in 80-udisks.rules. With Thunar/Thunar-volman neither rule prevents automounting but, as they are only hints, a file manager may ignore them. Purging the volume management software or setting Thunar to not use it is how I would tackle the issue. UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE is acted on though, but you probably don't want to use it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
