gvfs is mounting my phone automatically when I plug it in, I don't want this for various reasons.

How do I disable automatic mounting for this specific device, but continue allowing other USB devices to automount?

Here's the mount after plugging in :

~$ gvfs-mount -l
Drive(0): ST320LT007-9ZV142
  Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2)
Drive(1): HL-DT-ST DVD+/-RW GU60N
  Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2)
Drive(2): Generic Ultra HS-SD/MMC
  Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2)
Volume(0): Galaxy Nexus
  Type: GProxyVolume (GProxyVolumeMonitorMTP)
  Mount(0): Galaxy Nexus -> mtp://[usb:002,020]/
    Type: GProxyShadowMount (GProxyVolumeMonitorMTP)
Mount(0): mtp -> mtp://[usb:002,020]/
  Type: GDaemonMount

Update Tue May 21 00:03:00 EDT 2013:

I found /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/mtp.mount which contains:

[Mount]
Type=mtp
Exec=/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-mtp
AutoMount=false

Unhappily this AutoMount parameter doesn't seem to do anything.

In the meantime I've followed advice from here and disabled automount-open and automount in the gconf settings under org.gnome.desktop.media-handling. This disables it globally but it's better than the alternative. Here's hoping we'll have device- or protocol-specific (or both!) gvfs automount configuration in the future.

  • Take a look at [This](http://askubuntu.com/questions/271516/is-there-a-program-to-mount-my-all-of-my-drives-automatically/271527#271527) and see if it helps. – Mitch May 20 '13 at 18:15
  • @Mitch thanks, but gnome-disks doesn't manage gvfs mounts, that's for stuff in /etc/fstab. – wastrel May 21 '13 at 03:39
  • Opened a bug here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790488 let's see what the developers think about that. – mxmlnkn Nov 17 '17 at 10:10
