Any one able to quickly tell me how to tell OSX not to mount certian partitions?

[Jakweeze]

I have my laptop HDD seperated into four partitions

 

1) Vista OS

2) Vista User Files

3) OS X Main

4) OS X Backup

 

now every time it boots I have to manually eject 1,2 and 4

 

is there any way I can (pretty sure I can in the bootloader) tell it to manually eject at startup 1,2,4 or just never mount them?

 

Thanks a head of time!

You need to create fstab file in your /etc folder

sudo nano /etc/fstab

and insert the partitions you don't want to mount

either by uuid or by label

for example:

UUID=03BE60B2-09F6-3836-8ADD-241A08F53B49 none hfs rw,noauto

UUID=6A8915FE-D770-4037-8B09-3680EB9C23C4 none ntfs ro,noauto

Label=Whatever none ntfs ro,noauto

the syntax is

# Identifier, mount point, fs type, options

 

noauto will force the volume not to be mounted automatically
