Sometimes, it can be useful to prevent a given volume from mounting at boot. You might want to hide an old OS version from Spotlight corruption. You just might not want to clutter your desktop.
Note: Encrypted disks are unlocked before the fstab file is read. In order for this procedure to work with an encrypted disk, you must first mount the disk, unlock it, and save the password in your keychain.
To do this, you will need basic understand of how to enter Terminal commands and use vi.
- Escapes is an ANSI NFO DIZ ASC viewer/editor for Mac OS X. Admire ANSi art of any kind. All types supported. Built-in editor for ASCII art (NFO, DIZ, ASC) and text files. Retina Engine: renders both ANSi and ASCII art in high DPI.
- If you haven't installed the latest Boot Camp updates, you might get the message 'Could not locate the OS X boot volume.' Or use Startup Manager as your Mac starts up: Restart your Mac from the Start menu in Windows. Press and hold the Option (or Alt) ⌥ key as your Mac begins to restart.
1) Make sure the disk you want to prevent mounting at boot is mounted.
2) Launch Terminal.
3) Run the following command to print out information about the disk: Play ball mac os.
diskutil info /Volumes/shouldn't be mounted>
4) Locate the line that starts with: Volume UUID:. Select the UUID (Universal Unique Identifier) that follows on the rest of the line. It will be something that looks like FF9DBDC4-F77F-3F72-A6C2-26676F39B7CE. Your value will be different
5) Copy the UUID to the clipboard.
6) Navigate to /etc by typing the following and pressing enter:
cd /etc
7) Edit (or create) an fstab file by typing the following and pressing enter:
sudo vifs
8) Enter the following line, substituting the UUID you copied in step 5). (Note: vifs uses the value of the EDITOR environment variable to pick the text editor to use. This article assumes you are using the default value of vim.) In vim, the editor starts in command mode. To add a new line, use the arrow keys to move to the end of the document and press the o key to append a new line and enter edit mode. Then type the following:
UUID=FF9DBDC4-F77F-3F72-A6C2-26676F39B7CE none hfs rw,noauto
and press the return key.
9) Type escape to return to command mode and then type ZZ (shift key down) to save and exit vifs (or some other method to save and exit if you are using something other than vim).
10) Type the following and press enter to reset the auto mounter: Kitty lives in the basement mac os.
sudo automount -vc
11) Quit Terminal
Now, the next time you restart, or unplug the drive in the case of an external drive, that volume will not be mounted. All you have to do is launch Disk Utility, select the grey, disabled volume, and click the Mount button.
You should be able to use a different text editor than vifs if you want. It needs to be able to edit and save files owned by root.
Note: If all of your disks are encrypted, there is an easier method. For any disk that you don't want to automatically mount, simply don't save the password to the keychain.
