useless
regarding how to disable it.
I'm asking PCLinuxOS people but I expect I'll get an answer here faster.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kate, you can write your drive to /etc/fstab using noauto.
If you want to add it to fstab and need some help let us know the dev
name or uuid, file system type and where you want to mount it, I use
/home/jimmy/sdb1 or it could be /mount/sdb1 or /media/sdb1. Here's a
example of how I handle sdb1 on this desktop.
'/dev/sdb1 /home/jimmy/01-SDB1 ext4 noauto,users,exec,relatime 0 0'
But what you're seeing seems to be a PC Linux OS thing and is not the
behavior of devuan or debian.

I agree, it
is a pclos thing. They use udisks2. Which is notorious for
automount problems. I can't uninstall it because trinity is dependant on it.
I know how to edit the fstab, but would rather not. It's also not going to
help because it's rarely the same drive twice. This becomes a problem
when/because I'm working on client drive data recovery.
I appreciate the help though,
Thank you Jimmy
