Disable automounting partition in Gnome

[Szpak]

How can I disable automounting partitions in Gnome (gnome-volume-manager)?
In /etc/fstab I have:
/dev/hda7 /mnt/dos vfat noauto,user 0 0
but g-v-m ignores it.

I have problem with "filesystem panic" on vfat partition (see http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=53066) and want for tests to disable it, but I could find how to do this.

Thanks for help

remove that line from fstab

Hmm, ok. This is some idea, thanks for tip.
For short tests it's ok, but maybe is there some other method to disable it? Without this option I have to call mount as root with parameters.

Regards

put a # in front of the line

Ok, but it's still half-measure (but ok for tests). To mount it as normal user (by hand) I need to log as root and edit /etc/fstab.
g-v-m was designed to automount remote devices and maybe developers forgot that some people have "normal" vfat partitions which wouldn't be mounted. I couldn't find any info about "noauto", so maybe there isn't that option

Update: Uncheck "Mount removable media when inserted" in "Drivers and Media Preferences" causes that any of my vfat partitions isn't mounted. But it's still half-measure.
