Thanks for the replies.
It seems to me that the situation is as follows :-
Filesystems in /etc/fstab which have the noauto option are not automatically mounted at boot time, so if these filesystems are already
plugged into USB ports at boot time, they would subsequently have to be manually mounted in order to be used.
Filesystems which are plugged into a port after the system has been booted are automatically mounted.

I have a dislike of Gnome, because it seems to mount *every* Filesystem I have, even ones that I consider sensitive.But it doesn't occur until the GUI comes up. (I set the SystemD Default Target to multi-user and only type "systemctl start graphical.target" after I finish my "Apt Ritual").Not sure what Gnome Package does this. Any Gnome Experts here?Kenneth Parker
