How To Disable AutoMount USB Flash Drive

[dongiuseppe2684]

Hello,

I was about to start setting up Backtrack 5 on a usb, but when I plugged in my usb to my fresh install of Backtrack 5 on my laptop, my usb was automounted. My usb currently contains a copy of BT4r2 and working fine but it is automounting when I plug it into BT5.

Does anyone know how to disable the automount feature in BT5? As a note I tried from a file browser to go to Edit->Preferences->Media-> then selecting 'Never Prompt or start programs on media insertion'. But no luck there.

I was also looking at gconftool or gconftool-2 but couldn't find exactly what to change with this.

Appreciate any help!

Well looks like 'gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount false' worked. I'll read up more about this command. I'll have to read up more about this command. My first method only made nautilus not open up with the contents of the inserted usb drive but the drive was still being mounted.
