TICKET ARCHIVE -> Partition & Volume Unmounting
rone_92026 - Jun 1, 2006 - 9:00 pm
I have tryed to "Unmount" 2 of my 3 partitioned volumes with the Disk Utility, this seems to work for the present log session, but if I log off and then logon again, all 3 volumes are back? In OS 9, I was able to partition my main drive like this, and then disable some of them on bootup (make the 'nonbootable' volumes). Isn't there a way to do this in the Mac OS X 10.4.6 invironment?

You cannot do in OS X what you did in OS 9. Although you can unmount a drive after startup (not recommended) you cannot permanently set a drive as non-mountable.
You can write an Applescript that can run at login to dismount a drive. However, there's no compelling reason why a drive shouldn't be mounted. If you are tryiing to prevent access to the drive just change the permissions on the drive to read-only.
