Just got Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 installed. I like the following behaviour to be applied to my hard drive partitions and mass storage devices – pen drives, USB disks:

Automount all partitions of internal hard disk – without using fstab:

In /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi

false

false -> true

No hard drive icons displayed on desktop:

In gconf-editor – Alt+F2 to launch it, go to:

apps -> nautilus -> desktop

uncheck volumes_visible

bashroom » Hard Drive
