disk2 - Linux disc is not readable by OSX. You need additional software to get the Mac to work with it. Something like: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/extfs-mac/

The safest imo option which works well for me is:

https://github.com/andre-richter/diskejectd

It is the simplest possible service which will blacklist the devices you list in the plist file. Compiling and installing it requires the xcode command line tools. If you installed homebrew then you already have it. Otherwise you can install it with:

[COLOR=#303030][FONT=monospace]xcode-select --install[/FONT][/COLOR]

For example my configuration looks like this:

"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.diskejectd</string>
    <key>Program</key>
    <string>/usr/local/sbin/diskejectd</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/usr/local/sbin/diskejectd</string>
        <string>disk0s2</string>
        <string>disk0s5</string>
        <string>disk2s1</string>
        <string>disk2s2</string>
        <string>disk2s3</string>
        <string>disk2s4</string>
        <string>disk2s5</string>
    </array>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

This works great until the disk numbers change. Sometimes my disk numbers change at random when I reboot. Is there a way to prevent that?

Here's a slightly modified diskejectd to use partition UUIDs instead of device names. Most macs have the one internal volume.

Those disk# are assigned by the sequence that the BIOS sees them at boot time. Do you sometimes pull disks out of the case and put them back in in different positions?
