How to disable automount of an harddrive?
I am working on a project, and for this I need to disable the aumounting of hard-drives in Ubuntu both at startup and when I plug an hard-drive.
I tried one solution with "edit-conf" disabling automount at org.gnome.desktop.media-handling but when I plug a hardrive ubuntu still mounts it an open a window even when I restart the computer in between.
There is also the fstab solution but the thing is I don't know in advance the UUID of the drive I don't want to mount automatically.
From want I understand there is the solution of editing an udev rule, but i'm not a specialist of that.

Run these two commands:gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount 'false'gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open 'false'
Or you can try it with a udev rule:sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/85-no-automount.rule
Paste this line SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{UDISKS_AUTO}="0" and save the file.
Reboot the system.

I didn't try the rule, but I have a question before, I plug the hard drives directly onto the SATA ports of my computer, How should I translate the rule? SUBSYSTEM=="sata"?

You can try to add the module to the blacklist:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
add:
blacklist usb-storage
or
echo "blacklist usb-storage" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Enabling it later should just be:
sudo modprobe usb-storage

Lack of a reboot caused me to doubt the effectiveness of gsettings initially. I found it when being very thorough in preparation for filing a bug, which I found I didn't need to do. I've only tried this under sudo, however, so if you still have trouble, try doing it that way. I want this effective system-wide and found this does the job.
You do not need to touch automount-open because it only applies when an automount happens, and you will have disabled that.
