Disable Gnome auto mount for one specific UUID

I am using Gnome 3 (gnome disk utility,udisks,udev stack i think).

I have a device (Garmin Edge 800) that I am only going to use in Virtualbox so I want to prevent it from automatically mounting in Gnome. However I want other devices to auto mount as normal so disabling auto mount entirely isn't an option.

The device got two UUIDs and previously I could write a HAL fdi policy to ignore devices with those UUIDs, but now that HAL is deprecated I am not able to figure out how to do this.

Re: Disable Gnome auto mount for one specific UUID

There's probably a udev config file somewhere (udev wiki perhaps) but you can do it with fstab "noauto" that's what I do for partitions I don't want to auto mount.
