if you cleaned out your fstab file then it is mintdisk mounting the partitions.
so administration-->mintDisk or control center --> mintDisk
un-tick the mount fat32 and mount ntfs boxes and OK.
excess mounting is not cool

It's a bit more to this than Boo saw.
Disks (partitions) are supposed to be mounted in /media!
What did you do to your fstab?
If you mess around to much with fstab you end up not being able to boot.
mintDisk does not! mount anything but ntfs and FAT32
If that's what you don't want mounted follow Boo's advice
If it's other file systems you have to edit fstab (carefully)

mounting /dev/hdd1
I thought an entry in fstab would cause a dev to be mounted. Is this maybe not true. I have yet to get /dev/hdd1 mounted on /ntfs1 even though I have added it fstab. I can manually mount it but it should happen at boot.

mintDisk
I think Clem will explain mintDisk shortly in the newsletter or the magazine
Basically any partition mentioned in any way in fstab does not get mounted (and it's only FAT and ntfs in mintDisk)
You should only mount in /media (usually)
/media/hdd1 or whatever your drive is
The reason it does not get mounted by fstab is probably that the folder /nfts1 does not exist

So remove it from fstab and mintDisk will automount itI have yet to get /dev/hdd1 mounted on /ntfs1 even though I have added it fstab.

mounting /dev/hd1
<<The reason it does not get mounted by fstab is probably that the folder /nfts1 does not exist>>
Ah but it does, that's why :
mount /dev/hdd1 /ntfs1
works.
<<Basically any partition mentioned in any way in fstab does not get mounted>>
That seems very contrary to the purpose of fstab.
I assume mintDisk is a shell script somewhere . I will go look.

My mistake, should have been<<Basically any partition mentioned in any way in fstab does not get mounted>>

Code: Select all
does not get mounted by mintDisk
mounting partitions
it pays to not transpose letters. ntfs1 != nfts1.
