Hiding volumes list in Thunar

Hi all.

I want to disable thunar's volume management (want restrict family members from accidentally mounting my pron archive corrupting ntfs-3g partitions 8)) or, at least, hide the list of available partitions (it would be ingenious to hide just some of that, if that's possible)

I found this recipe:
~/.config/Thunar/thunarrc:

MiscVolumeManagement=FALSE

But it seems to be not working (XFCE 4.8 on Mint linux) - non-mounted partitions are still listed in Thunar.
Should I go to some xfce4-settings-editor depths?

Re: Hiding volumes list in Thunar

You can make an entry in /etc/fstab for each relevant partition. This will make them disappear in thunar.
