The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
=== Automatically mounting partitions I don't want automatically mounted  ===These are partitions not even listed in /etc/fstab and Mint mounts them all even if I don't want them to be mounted.  For example, I don't want sda3 to auto mounted, because I don't want userlevel access to that partition unless I manually choose to mount and access it.  Solution: Even though it isn't listed in fstab, and here is the logic... You have to add it to fstab and tell it not to auto mount. ?!?!?!?! yeah that's right! -or- you can do it the GUI way by the following steps:# Mint Menu -> Accessories -> Disks -> select the partition on the left.# click the "gear" icon below the partition table image (settings) and choose "Edit mount options"# turn off "use session defaults" and uncheck "mount at startup"
