Most of the time, if I plug a USB drive into my computer, gnome/centos/whatever will ask me what I want to do with it. With a Hitachi Lifestudio, all the partitions mount without asking me. How do I stop that behavior? My suspicion is that the same kind of mechanism is what makes candy drops work. So far as I know, my backup drive is not candy, but I would still like to be able to control my computer. -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.nds...

Its not ?autofs? specifically (which is a simple thing) but udev talking to udisks, allowing your login session to use udisks to mount the

How do I get the ask-first behavior? How do I tell what makes Lifestudio special? When I plug in an SD card through a USB adapter, something asks what I want to do and lists options. In case it helps: [root at localhost sata400-12-homes]# find / -name '*autofs*' /lib/modules/2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64/kernel/fs/autofs4 /lib/modules/2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64/kern...

It's a Chimera Desktop 2014. More specifically, I bought the case, the motherboard, the CPU, the RAM and the graphics card from another poster for the price of postage.
