Hi,
I'm trying to prevent a partitions from mounting at boot. I created this /etc/fstab file:

Code:
# jan
# HFS Data
/dev/disk1s2		/Users/me/Data     hfs    rw

# NFS Data
/dev/disk1s3		none     			nfs    rw,noauto

but after a boot, the /dev/disk1s3 is still mounted:

mount
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
/dev/disk1s2 on /Users/jan/Data (hfs, local, journaled)
/dev/disk1s3 on /Volumes/NFS (ufsd_NTFS, local, noowners)
/dev/disk0s3 on /Volumes/Bootcamp (ufsd_NTFS, local, noowners)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)

Any ideas why it's not working ?

Thanks,
T
 
bump again. I tired using the UUID in the /etc/fstab but the partition is still getting mounted:


Code:
# jan
# HFS Data
UUID=945B27AC-2953-3DAB-B440-220B95F4CFEC /Users/jan/Data     hfs    rw

# NFS Data
UUID=188F3193-8F53-D618-9918-D60238D6021A    none       nfs    rw,noauto
