To disable automatic disk naming, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the terminal and log in to the root account.<\/li>\n
  2. Use the command blkid to view the UUID and file system type of the disk.<\/li>\n
  3. Find the UUID of the disk that needs to be excluded from automatic naming.<\/li>\n
  4. Edit the \/etc\/fstab file and add a line with a format similar to the following:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    UUID=[\u78c1\u76d8\u7684UUID] [\u6302\u8f7d\u70b9] [\u6587\u4ef6\u7cfb\u7edf\u7c7b\u578b] noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Be sure to replace [disk UUID] and [mount point] with the actual values you obtained.<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Save and close the \/etc\/fstab file.<\/li>\n
    2. Reload the \/etc\/fstab file to apply changes:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      sudo mount -a\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      Now the disk will no longer be automatically named, it will only be recognized when mounted manually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
