[SOLVED] Opening mounted drives folders on startup

[larsjuh]

Hello !

I've a bit of a annoying problem.

In my /etc/fstab i've setup a mounted network drive, so it'll mount at startup..

Code: Select all

//10.0.0.9/HDD01 /media/HDD01 cifs credentials=xxxxx,dir_mode=0775 0 0


But everytime i startup my pc it'll open the folder and show me the contents of the drive..
Is there a way to prevent this?

I want it to mount of course, but it must not popup at boot..

Thanks for your time.

Change the mount point to something other than /media or anywhere in your home folder. Something like:

Code: Select all

/mnt/HDD01

The /media folder is reserved by the system to on-the-fly removable (mainly user-mounted) devices.

all right thanks that did the job

But why is it when i mount my second hard drive on /media/xxx (internal harddrive) that it will not show the folder on startup?

Because i kinda like the /media/ folder because it'll show the mounted drives in "My computer"

An internal HDD is not considered as a removable drive.
