happening?

I'd actually prefer a root command line solution that will
make it impossible for kde to turn automounting back on.

In case it matters, I boot to runlevel 3 and start kde via startx as
needed.


I ran into the exact same thing last night. A file system marked
"noauto" was mounted at boot time. I had to comment out the line
in /etc/fstab and hack around the problem (put something in rc.local)
but it's a royal hack, not a solution.

The culprit is gnome or kde... for kde, I don't know, but for gnome you
have a System>Preferences>Removable medias (something like that) where
you can choose what you want.

Anyway there is some problem there: as cd/dvd devices are no more
mentionned in fstab, I think that if you don't use auto-mount, you will
be unable to mount your cd/dvd if you are not root....

This is boring: same happens if you want to format a cd/dvd/usb-key...
whatever, you cannot unmount them to perform the operation if you are
not root...
