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 And I don't see an obviously out of
date, newer version of anything disk related in /lib/udev/rules.d. That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

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.
