Heck, right now I've two, decade old red sata, both of which has succumed

from wheezy, I'll have to find someplace that has sata cables that
aren't that hot red color. If you have some red ones in your systems,
order replacements that are any color but red, because you WILL replace
the reds ones sooner or later, usually under 5 years later.
Thats another way of saying I am not automounting 2 of the 3 drives in a
hot swap cage.
Now we're back on topic, sorta, but I'm no help. But I also have a very
faded memory of doing something in /lib/udev/rules.d to stop that, but
its much of a half decade back up the log and even then my short term
memory was starting to get fuzzy. And I don't see an obviously out of
date, newer version of anything disk related in /lib/udev/rules.d. That
may not be where I putzed with it. Poor memory, the curse of the
so-called golden years.
What ever, it was interfering with the blkid based mounting
in /etc/fstab.

I was thinking the same thing, using blkid, but I have to first deal with the
dreaded automount. The problem with that is, the drives are never the same.
These are client drive (mostly crackmonkeys) in need of data retrieval.
Someone will have an answer.
As for ancient computers. Glad to see I'm not the only Dr Frankenstein here.
Me first computer was comprised of about 27 different computers I found in
the rubbish over a period of months about 30 something years back. Still
doing it, I've built some amazing machines. A lot of them even worked without
blazing into a fireballs.

So, not takers on how to disable auto mounting of external HDs?

If cats had their way, they would be overlords.
And yes, they have infiltrated the organization.

And they, I take it, have delegated the food bowl and excrement pan
maintenance to you? Its a dirty job, but I suppose somebody has to
do it.
