Hello All,
I'm curious as to whether there is a way to block mounting of a partition.
Specifically, I'm letting someone borrow my desktop computer. I've created a partition and thrown Ubuntu on it for them. They are qualified enough to act as their own administrator on that installation, but I'm looking to avoid accidents so would like to prevent their access to my other partitions. The main problem is that my other install partitions appear in the 'Places' Menu under gnome on Ubuntu, and gnome-mount allows them to be auto-mounted.
Any thoughts on how to avoid this person accessing or mounting these partitions, without eliminating their ability to administer their ubuntu installation?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
