#242361 — How to NOT automatically mount a specific partition of an external device?

Fromsteve <dlist@bluewin.ch>
Date2021-11-24 10:00 +0100
SubjectHow to NOT automatically mount a specific partition of an external device?
Message-ID<DmWie-70m-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hi,

I have an external ssd with two partitions. One is for Windows and the
other one is an ext4 partition for data.

Every time I plug in this ssd (via usb3), both partitions are mounted
automatically.

mount command gives:

/dev/sdh1 on /media/steve/Samsung_T5 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2)
/dev/sdh2 on /media/steve/T5Linux type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,stripe=8191,uhelper=udisks2)

I don't need /dev/sdh1 under linux (it's mainly my son's game stuff). I
also see sometimes errors in /var/log/syslog related to that partition.

So is there a way to automatically mount /dev/sdh2 but not /dev/sdh1?

Thanks

steve

I use a line in /etc/fstab like this for just this purpose:

UUID=      /mount/point/you/want       ext4    defaults,noexec,noauto  0
2

Rememer to mkdir -p the mount point you want.  And it doesn't have to
be /media.

The noexec means nothing can run from the device - not even root. You
may not want that situation

All the best

Well, the partition still mounts to /media/steve/Samsung_T5 when plugged in.
I put this in /etc/fstab:

UUID="ACDE12A6DE1268BA" /media/win_ext vfat     defaults,noexec,noauto 0 2

The logs say:

Nov 25 09:20:30 box ntfs-3g[1133900]: Version 2017.3.23AR.3 integrated FUSE 28
Nov 25 09:20:30 box ntfs-3g[1133900]: Mounted /dev/sda1 (Read-Write, label "Samsung_T5", NTFS 3.1)
Nov 25 09:20:30 box udisksd[1098]: Mounted /dev/sda1 at /media/steve/Samsung_T5 on behalf of uid 1000
Nov 25 09:20:30 box ntfs-3g[1133900]: Cmdline options: rw,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,windows_names,uhelper=udisks2
Nov 25 09:20:30 box ntfs-3g[1133900]: Mount options: nodev,nosuid,uhelper=udisks2,allow_other,nonempty,relatime,rw,default_permissions,fsname=/dev/sda1,blkdev,blksize=4096
Nov 25 09:20:30 box ntfs-3g[1133900]: Global ownership and permissions enforced, configuration type 7

It seems like /etc/fstab in not read when plugging in the device.

What's wrong?

Thanks

The thing doing the mounting is udisks (8). Checking that man-page, one
thing you can do to hint udisks to ignore a device is to have udev set a
property UDISKS_IGNORE. So if you can write a udev rule that matches
your device and sets   ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1", I think udisks will
ignore it.

Ok I got it thanks to you. What I did:

1) created a file (97-ignore-ssd.rules) in /etc/udev/rules.d with the

2) put this line in it

SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="ACDE12A6DE1268BA", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

The ENV{ID_FS_UUID} was found with the command

udevadm info /dev/sda1 | grep ID_FS_UUID=

3) Restarted udisks

systemctl restart udisks2.service

4) plugged the device and only the ext4 partition was mounted. Hurray!


Thanks again for the help.

I finally got tired of seeing tofu for some of the glyphs in your sig,
so I looked up their Unicode codepoints:

https://www.unicodepedia.com/unicode/miscellaneous-symbols-and-pictographs/1f471/person-with-blond-hair/
https://www.unicodepedia.com/unicode/miscellaneous-symbols-and-pictographs/1f517/link-symbol/

My MUA is Sylpheed, and it would not display those glyphs, regardless
of which of my system fonts I selected as the Sylpheed display font.
After some more hunting on the web, I installed "Noto Color
Emoji" (fonts-noto-color-emoji), and presto, now I see the person with
blond hair and the link symbol! I see them even when I don't select that
font as the application display font - I guess Sylpheed, or some
component of its underlying infrastructure, looks throughout the
installed system fonts when there's no glyph for a particular codepoint
in the currently selected font?

I'm curious: do most users of Debian on the desktop (who use MUA
software, as opposed to webmail via a browser) have such a font
installed, or do they see tofu?

Anyway, TIL something fascinating. Now that I have Noto Color Emoji
installed, my email is much more colorful and cuter - Sylph apparently
wasn't displaying tofu for emojis in email subject lines, and was just
ignoring them, and I had no idea what I was missing ;) ...

I see the rectangle which is used for missing glyphs, I'm guess that's
what you mean by tofu (had to google the term).

I understood that tofu is rotten soy beans.

Is it something else?

no idea what "most users" do; I am actually using sylpheed too, and I too
have these "emoji fonts" installed. Makes life easier sometimes, when
people use emoijis as a means of communication and just assume that you
are able to have them displayed.

Have a nice day :-)

Interestingly, I see the glyphs in Mutt running in Gnome Terminal and in
Vim as I edit this in the same Gnome Terminal.  My font is one
installed locally, Droid Sans Mono Slashed which provides the zero
character with a slash.

I know that there is keyboard sequence in Gnome Terminal (Ctl-Shift-E
then Space) to bring up a menu to select Unicode glyphs.

I use the cone e-mail client in rxvt-unicode with the Terminus bitmap font  
and I see only the icon next to `jmtd@debian.org`. Apart from that, the  
first line of the signature has two squares, the third line one and the post  
by Nate has a single square, too.

I can view the glyphs correctly by saving the mail as text file and opening  
it with mousepad. `aptitude search ~inoto` returns the following here:

| idA fonts-noto-color-emoji    - color emoji font from Google
| i A fonts-noto-core           - "No Tofu" font families with large
| i A fonts-noto-extra          - "No Tofu" font families with large
| i A fonts-noto-mono           - "No Tofu" monospaced font family wi
| i A fonts-noto-ui-core

I am pretty fine with _not_ seeing the correct glyphs by default given that  
I do not want fancy colorful icons in my terminals anyway :)

YMMV

Yes, that one seems to be included in "normal" system fonts - I, too,
saw it before I installed the noto fonts.

> first line of the signature has two squares, the third line one and the post  

The two squares is apparently because the "person with blond hair" has
a "light skin tone" modifier:

https://emojipedia.org/person-light-skin-tone-blond-hair/

Okay, so when mousepad is showing the glyphs, it's presumably using the
noto fonts.

I'm pretty sure Droid Sans Mono Slashed doesn't have the glyphs in
question, and that you must actually have the noto or similar fonts
installed, with some part of the Gnome infrastructure finding them when
you select the glyphs. What does "fc-list | grep noto" show? If you
have the noto fonts installed, try uninstalling them and then see if
your system can still display the glyphs.

If my own system is any guide, that may be an overly broad sort of
question.

$ fc-list | wc -l
   2479
$ fc-list | grep noto | wc -l
   1847
$ fc-list | grep -v noto | wc -l
    632

Asking for the output of something that produces potentially thousands
of lines may be slightly ill-advised (although asking the user to check
that output and report back might be another story, and now that I look
back it's not entirely clear which of the two you were intending).

The above is with the following installed package set:

dpkg -l "fonts-noto*" | grep ^ii
ii  fonts-noto-core     20201225-1   all          "No Tofu" font
families with large Unicode coverage (core)
ii  fonts-noto-extra    20201225-1   all          "No Tofu" font
families with large Unicode coverage (extra)
ii  fonts-noto-mono     20201225-1   all          "No Tofu" monospaced
font family with large Unicode coverage
ii  fonts-noto-ui-core  20201225-1   all          "No Tofu" font
families with large Unicode coverage (UI core)

I don't think I was aware that there are color versions, and I certainly
don't think I'd want them.

(FWIW, with this set installed, I see actual glyphs rather than the
"tofu' for each of the four in Jonathan Dowland's .sig - although I
can't actually quite tell what the second one is, even at full
enlargement.)

Well, I didn't ask for that one.

>    1847

Huh. Our systems must be very different:

~$ fc-list | grep noto | wc -l
1

~$ fc-list | grep noto
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf: Noto Color Emoji:style=Regular

I confess that it simply didn't occur to me that some systems would be
so different from mine. I concede that that may have been a naive
assumption ;)

No, I had never heard of it. Do you? No package depends on or even
"recommends" that one, so I'm not sure how you would have ended up with
it insofar as you "never manually installed any emoji fonts (or any
other fonts)."
