Is there any way to stop automounting NFTS-3G volumes?

Hi, I think I've tried everything and I can't make it stop automounting. Right now I'm using GNOME 2.28, NTFS-3G with the setuid bit activated to be able to mount the volumes as a user.

This are the relevant contents of my fstab file:

# Windows System:
/dev/sda1 /media/Windows ntfs-3g noauto,defaults,users,noauto 0 1
# Data:
/dev/sda10 /media/Data ntfs-3g noauto,defaults,users,noauto 0 1

The idea is to have entries in the fstab file for those volumes but have them unmounted when booting. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Thank you very much for your time.

Leave just "noauto,users".

I've tried that too but didn't work, they keep being mounted.

Could it be a bug somewhere?

Thanks anyway!

I've tried that too, but it's not an option.

If those entries are not present in the fstab file I'm not able to write to those partitions as a user and the locale under which they're mounted is not UTF-8.

Thanks anyway!

you could remove it from fstab as the post said above, then simply chown the entire drive to your user. worked for me

I don't know how are you doing it... but it's not working for me.

If I create the directory where it's supposed to be mounted (e.g. /media/Data) and own that directory (chown user:user path, as root) when I try to mount it clicking in the icon in the Places menu the partition is mounted in another directory (in the example it would be mounted in Data_ instead of Data), so neither I own that directory nor it uses an UTF-8 encoding (things like á or ĉ are not displayed correctly).
