peter@dalton:~$ tail -n2 /etc/fstab
/dev/SanDiskCF1  /home/peter/DOS  vfat  defaults,noauto,user  0       0
/dev/SanDiskCF2  /home/peter/Work  vfat  defaults,noauto,user  0       0

peter@dalton:~$ mount | grep vfat
/dev/sdb1 on /home/peter/DOS type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000
,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors=remo
unt-ro,user=peter)
/dev/sdb2 on /home/peter/Work type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=100
0,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors=rem
ount-ro,user=peter)

So /dev/SanDiskCF* are owned by a user.  Nevertheless 
/dev/sdb{1,2} are owned by root and are automounted. 

Is there a better way of preventing the automounting 
than by adding entries to fstab?
/dev/sdb1  /nowhere  auto  noauto  0  0
/dev/sdb2  /nowhere  auto  noauto  0  0
/dev/sdc1  /nowhere  auto  noauto  0  0
 ... 

Thanks,          ... Peter E.
