I also have this same problem.
I use noauto in fstab but feisty ignores this mount option.

I have 3 other os's w/multi partitions, and feisty insists on mounting everything in sight ( like a blabber-mouth ) : O
Just ignore the owners security preferences, and do what feisty thinks - that reminds me of you know who.
This looks like, and is to me, a high priority security issue that - needs to be fixed - FAST -
So what's the hold up in offering a solution from ubuntu security team ??

 I could comment out the enteries in fstab - like hitting it with a Sledge - Hammer ?
why not have a simple option for the mount utility - hmmm lets see -
how about somthing like ( NOAUTO or noauto ) ??
that should work, i like noauto better it's quieter : - )

 Only option a the moment is ( Sledge-Hammer ) approach to shut it up.
 Is it just me - that I like to have full control of what's going on my machine.
Imagine the many unwitting that don't know that all their partitions are forced open to attacks from anywhere.

I better shut up now before they start getting any ideas eh ?

 I'll Be Back !!
