Linux Disable Mounting of Uncommon Filesystem

To disable the mounting of uncommon filesystems in Linux, you can use the "noauto" option in the /etc/fstab file. The /etc/fstab file is used to specify how the system should mount various filesystems at boot time.

For example, to disable the mounting of a filesystem with the type "ntfs", you can add a line to the /etc/fstab file like this:

/dev/sda1   /mnt/ntfs   ntfs   noauto   0   0

This will prevent the system from automatically mounting the NTFS partition on /dev/sda1 at boot time.

You can also use the "noauto" option to prevent the system from automatically mounting other types of filesystems, such as "vfat", "exfat", or "hfsplus".

Note: Disabling the mounting of uncommon filesystems may prevent you from using certain features or peripherals on your system. You should consider the impact on your workload before making this change.
