How2 disable certain auto mount drives
#1
I am new to Linux Lite and just installed V4.15. I have a second drive with all my office documents and have it mounted using /etc/fstab as $HOME/Documents. However, Linux Lite also auto mounts it as /media/<username>/<id-xxxxx>.

There is no fstab entry for the /media mount point and I would like to prevent this (and the desktop icon) from appearing. How can I selectively stop Linux Lite from auto mounting certain drives on /media/xxxx ?

FYI - I do like the auto mount and desktop icon for floppies and USB drives so I don't want to completely disable the feature.
Thx for the helpĀ  Big Grin

Menu/Settings/Disks

When the program opens, you will see a list of your partitions on the left and their properties on the right.
Highlight the drive on the left you wish to change and then click on the cogs under the Volumes on the right.
Choose Edit Mount Options and you can change automount etc there.
