[Macpartners] Hiding Mac OS X volumes selectively...?

[Kerem B Limon]

I've Google'd and searched the usual Mac forums, sites, etc. Before I post to
somewhere else, anyone know of a way to selectively hide mounted volumes under
Mac OS X?

Under Mac OS Classic, you could do this using Drive Setup and checking a setting
that told the drive not to mount at startup and it would not show up on the
Desktop. I assume it flipped a bit in the mount list for that OS and/or
something in the partition table or boot sector of the partition. I don't see
something like this in Disk Utility.

Mac OS X seems to have /etc/fstab, but as with everything else, this seems to
differ somewhat from typical UNIX/Linux/BSD (in fact, everything on mine are
commented out there and identical across machines).
