problem My SanDisk Cruzer U3 USB memory stick logs in addition to the actual USB mass storage drive or a virtual CD-ROM as soon as it connects. In Leopard even a virtual CD burner is detected. Leopard then asked each time whether the inserted disk to be formatted?! This is slightly annoying.
Solution: Create a file / etc / fstab (short fstab) which includes:
# fstab # # Warning - this file should only be modified with vifs (8) # Failure to do so is unsupported and may be destructive. # # # # Edited 2009-07-28 by Dirk Identifier, mount point, fs type, options # LABEL = U3 \\ 040System none cd9660 ro, noauto LABEL = Mobile \\ 040Partner none hfs ro, noauto
Notes on fstab file
- Since Leopard will be the
edit fstab only with the command sudovifs.vifsediting ensures that thefstabnot be processed simultaneously by the system. (I think this is normal on a Leopard system on which the file beforehand Nocht even exist, not available.) - All lines that begin with #
only comment lines. - The first line starting with
LABELprevents mount the U3 system from the SanDisk Cruzer Contour flash drive. - The disk is thereby identified by its name (volume label).
\\ 040stands for a space. - The first line starting with
LABELprevents mount the data partition of my UMTS Surf sticks.
