Occasionally, you might want to manage media without using removable media services. This section describes how to disable and enable removable media services.
Disabling these services means that you would have to mount all media manually by using the mount command.
If you are not sure whether you have found all users of the media, use the fuser command, see How to Determine If Removable Media Is Still in Use.
