Disable mounting of NTFS drive in OSX

[korgo]

Hi there,

I have scanned the web for a while, now to disable auto-mount of my windows SSD when I am running OSX. More or less, all guides suggested to use either of the two options with fstab

a) LABEL=<disk label> none ntfs rw,noauto

or

b) UUID=NUMBER none ntfs rw,noauto

Both don't yield results. The drive always gets mounted on reboot. Unmounting using disk utility is no problem. Any ideas?

Can you post your fstab file ?

If I a) knew what that is and b) how to get it, I possibly would

You said in your first post that you tried options in fstab....

Oh, Ok that. But there's just one or two lines in that file according to several manuals here in the forum... I'd have to get back into the whole process to even be able to find that file...

EDIT: I mean it's a while ago I tried, and I completely forgot how I did it. Have to get back into this some time.

Its located at /etc

/etc of what? Sorry, I am in the middle of something completely different...

Its in the /etc folder at the root of your hard drive.
