unmount/hide NTFS partition without UUID

[xiaoxiwan]

I'm trying to prevent SL from mounting all NTFS drives on startup. It was easy to do that for the Windows 7 system partition which has an UUID, and I just used the /etc/fstab method.

But I have an NTFS data partition (/Volumes/User HD 1) that doesn't have a UUID. I tried using "LABEL=User\040HD\0401" method but that didn't work. Anyone have a better suggestion?

In the com.Apple.boot.plist try adding something such as

<key>Hide Partition</key>
<string>hd(1,1) hd(2,2) hd(3,1)</string>


using the appropriate hd numbers, you can find them by going to Disk Utilities info button.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm talking about preventing the actual OS from mounting nonbootable NTFS drives after the OS is fully loaded, not at the bootloader menu, which that string easily takes care of.
