As always with Linux, surprisingly simple. But how do I keep SME server from trying to mount it at boot?

dear, ..
you can open /etc/fstab..
edit / delete line that show your dev to prevent
linux from trying to mount at boot time.
you can use vi editor from shell.

# vi /etc/fstab

than remove the line that show your dev/hdx ..

then don't forget to save ..
