    How to switch off the automounter in jaunty jackalope (kubuntu 9.04)

    Hi all

    Until the last version of (k)ubuntu I used

    pmount /dev/sdb1 /media/mydisk

    to mount an USB stick from the command line. Since I have a lot of shell scripts using this type of command-line mounting
    for USB devices (which is very fast by the way) I would be happy if that worked also in Kubuntu 9.04. However, that is not the case anymore (at least not in my installation). After pluggin in the USB I get the following message upon typing

    pmount /dev/sdb1 /media/mydisk

    Error: device /dev/sdb1 is not removable

    On the other hand when the message appears:

    "devices recently plugged in: ...

    If I do not click on the label appearing (causing dolphin to start, which takes a lot of time) I cannot access the USB.
    Any ideas how to turn off the automounter in this case?

    Any help is welcome. Thanks
    kubuntu-user01
