Prevent SETUP partition/volume from mounting (macOS X)
The SETUP volume mounting annoys me for a couple of reasons:
1. calibre does not eject it 2. I do not want to use the setup files. I found my own solution, on macOS X, to prevent the SETUP partition from mounting: $ diskutil info /Volumes/SETUP This gives us the UUID of the volume we are interested in, ready for the next part $ sudo pico /etc/fstab UUID=5B7F482A-CBB1-371D-9739-7823473EEA35 none msdos ro,noauto To save the file press Control+X, then press Y, and then press Enter to confirm. $ sudo automount -vc This refreshes the automount settings. Voila, no more SETUP mounting when you plug in the reader. |

This also works for PRS-650, where the volume is called SETTING

And for the PRS-350, for volume called SETTING
Each device has a different UUID for that volume so you have to do it for each device. |
