Don't automount MorphOS volumes?
Just popping in

See User information
Hi all,

I'm dual-booting MorphOS and OS4 on my X5000. I have all my MorphOS partitions on a separate SSD attached to the on-board SATA, and I'd like to avoid them auto-mounting when I boot into OS4.

Is there a way of doing this? If I toggle the automount flag on the partition, it affects the MorphOS side, so was looking for another way of excluding them. I guess I can always just hide them from Workbench, but I'm still worried I might accidentally end up writing to them or otherwise corrupting them.

Thanks!

-Mark

In the prefs:workbench an option in Desktop tab called "Hidden devices", so you just mark all the volumes you need and save.

They of course will still be mounted, but hidden from point of the workbench (so no CD to them from the shell, not visibly on dopus4/5, etc)

Maybe a write-protect is in order? See Lock.doc.

No, that's not true, you can still access the drives both in Shell and in DOpus, even if they are hidden on WB.

Best regards,

Right...

@mdr
Then probably both ways to combine: hide volumes in prefs: workbench, and somewhere in user-startup add:

lock mos_volume1:
lock mos_volume2:

they will be hidden, and you can't write shit on.

I use "lock sys:" on some of my machines back in years when mess it too much with beta tests, and it quite handy to be sure nothing will be written/deleted from.

As dismount is removed from Assign, you can use the c:dismount command.

If MOS is the device name:

7.WorkBench:> dismount mos: force

Ah yes, the dismount command - forgot about that one. Good point.

But I would at least try first without the FORCE.

From "help dismount":

---8<---
    
FORCE
        Attempt to remove the file system device data from memory even
        
if the file system itself is unwilling to goThis is a
        potentially dangerous option 
and should be used only as a last
        resort when everything

        may not succeed in cleaning up all the resources the file system
        may still be using
.

If you haven't used the volume at all - because you're doing it right from the startup - I would expect it to dismount willingly, which is probably a safer situation.

BTW, the old, unsafe dismount option was removed from assign because the safer and better current functionality was created as a separate command.

This also makes more sense logically (what does dismounting have to do with assigns?).

Best regards,

Niels

Thanks all. I added several dismount statements to my user-startup, and this did the trick!
