I have installed Ubuntu Studio, Version 22.04 LTS. I have also a NTFS partition at the same disk, which contains previously installed Windows OS.
Ubuntu Studio seems to automatically mount the NTFS partition at every computer startup (unlike normal Ubuntu).


Where can I disable automounting of the NTFS partition at every computer startup?


I would expect the automount to take place in /etc/fstab, but it is not there (I replaced parts of the UUIDs with x).


cat /etc/fstab:


UUID=664A-xxxx                            /boot/efi      vfat    umask=0077 0 2
UUID=6b1fe799-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 defaults,discard 0 1
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
UUID=6af10a10-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx none swap sw 0 0

The automounted partition is /dev/sda3 and it gets mounted under /media/user/WIN10. There is also another NTFS partition /dev/sda4 at the disk (500MB), but it has got flags hidden,diag and it does not get automounted (just for explanation).


My blkid output:


/dev/sda1: LABEL_FATBOOT="EFIBOOT" LABEL="EFIBOOT" UUID="664A-xxxx" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI system partition" PARTUUID="98cb88bd-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

/dev/sda6: UUID="6af10a10-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="d74bac71-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

mount | grep sda output:

Automounting can be configured in System Settings > Removable Storage > Removable Devices:


enter image description here


The config file is ~/.config/kded_device_automounterrc, you could edit this file manually, but this changes only the file but does not apply the new settings.
