Meanwhile I gathered some more information: 1. if the only option in /etc/fstab is 'noauto' all is fine, it gets not mounted
2. if the option 'user' is also added (noauto,user) it gets mounted Conclusion: some process/application performs the mounting in user space. However I am unable to find out, how to avoid that, must be some process of the distribution or desktop? 'mount' seems to perform correctly, I therefor do assign this bug to the distribution Ingo -- /dev/sda3 is mounted despite the 'noauto' option in fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120829 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
