[SOLVED] disable other partition and mount permission

[makinist99]

Hello,

I am using Linux Mint 13 Xfce
User login auto. So user don't know password.
Firstly I want to remove other partition on the left side of file manager (Thunar ) Because user can open other partition and can delete file.
Secondly I want to change permission for mounting. So clearly, user should not mount other partition without password.

Thanks

You can make the partitions not show up in thunar by putting a line for that partition in your /etc/fstab.

Example:

Code: Select all

LABEL=LBAK    /mnt/LBAK    ext4    noauto,nouser   0 0
LABEL=NTFS    /mnt/NTFS    ntfs    noauto,windows_names  0 0

("noauto" = don't mount at boot' "nouser" = need to be root).

For the ntfs partition, you're done cuz you need to be root to mount it.

Code: Select all

user - permit any user to mount the filesystem (implies noexec,nosuid,nodev unless overridden).
nouser - only allow root to mount the filesystem (default).
