Automount problem
I have an external 3.5 inches 4 Tb hard disk connected to the Pi 4 USB port using a X835 board. A large data partition (/dev/sda3) is mounted at bootstrap because there is an entry into /etc/fstab.
The Kodi process uses the udisks2 subsystem to automount connected devices. Since there is also a /dev/sda2 partition on the disk, this is automatically mounted as soon as the Kodi process is started. From the journalctl log you can see:
systemd[1]: Starting udisks2.service - Disk Manager... udisksd[1202]: udisks daemon version 2.10.1 starting dbus-daemon[694]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2' udisksd[1202]: Mounted /dev/sda2 at /media/kodi/9f259ae2-1de9-... on behalf of uid 1001
I haven't found a way to prevent automounting of just the /dev/sda3 partition using the udisks2 configuration. The only truly horrible way was to set a wrong mount parameter for that partition, causing it to fail. I.e. it is possibile to create the file /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf with a bad mount option like this:
This does not work:
[/dev/disk/by-uuid/9f259ae2-1de9-...] automount=false
It was impossibile to disable automount via the dbus subsystem too. Creating a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-udisks2-noauto.rules with the following content has no effects:
This does not work:
ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="9f259ae2-1de9-...", ENV{UDISKS_AUTO}="0" ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="9f259ae2-1de9-...", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
