Spotlight, Finder and filsystem control...
Ever since I started using Mac, I have had one frustration. Whenever I put in an external disk, no matter what kind, the system writes a bunch of crap on them. This viral function seems to be impossible to turn off.

I have tried all tricks I found on the net, not a single one of them is consistent.
This is a rude practice and Apple should understand that some of us actually do not want the computer to write a lot of crap on our disks without asking for permission. At the moment, I am facing a problem with my GPS-device, which happen to run WinCE. Because of all this crap, I simply can not create the system upgrade for my GPS without running into severe problems.
Right now my device refuse to boot after a failed firmware upgrade and this was caused by this crappy practice. How can I turn this viral function completely off for all external disks without any exceptions?
If there is no answer to this question, I have get another computer to solve my needs. It should really not be necessary to say that this is actually worse than Microsoft Windows. I never faced a problem with Microsoft Windows regarding such matters. This is viral by nature and should be turned off by default.
