Q: Prevent external HHD from mounting, for a specific user
Our current setup has two or three user accounts on one machine. We'd like to prevent a couple of externally connected USB-drives from mounting for a specific user and only mount for another…
We stumbled upon "fstab", but this is generic and not account specific, is it?
Any ideas are welcome!
Thank you.

I have now solved the issue with permissions removing the Staff-group and denying access to "All others"… following basic ideas described here e.g.: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-secure-files-from-other-users-on-external-disk s/
Hope i am not missing anything like closing myself out in case of a stolen machine, a new user account, etc…
