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.

And I have to feed them too...
So, not takers on how to disable auto mounting of external HDs?

I believe that you can disable automounting by opening up Konqueror: media:/ Right-click on the icon for that item, then you can go to Properties > Mounting and check your mount options.
Try doing as your username first; if you still have problems, then open up Konqueror as root: tdesu konqueror and try again. (Of course, all the usual precautions about running anything as root.) Messing up your mount options can make external HDDs a headache.
If this doesn't work, then you probably want to examine these files: /etc/fstab /etc/mtab However, I try not to mess with these, if everything else has been running fine until now. If you try to disable automount for a new HDD, you may inadvertently change mounting options for other drives, which will be worse.

Heck, right now I've two, decade old red sata, both of which has succumed to the ravages of the red dye used in the cable. So before I can update 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 And I don't see an obviously out of date, newer version of anything disk related in /lib/udev/rules.d. That may not be where I putzed with it.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.

Hi, I don't know the background of the story anymore regarding those red cables. I think I have few of them and few dark red - I have not have any problems with them in the past 6-7y or more

Control Panel>Peripherals>storage media>mime types(unmounted storage)>select a deive a "toggle automount" button is highlighted.
On my box when I plug in a device I get a popup window asking "what to do"..ie no auto mounting. None of my devices hace the "toggle ..." feature enabled.
Not sure this is a solution to your issue, hesitant to play with my settings as it working "fine now"tm.
