Decided to give dual booting a try (OS X and Ubuntu) however the Macintosh HD icon honestly irritates me.

How can I remove this so it does not occur at all (click for larger versions)?

Nautilus showing the unwanted icon

  • fstab is the place where the systems knows what's for the system to mount.

  • automount feature ends automounting this location. You have to manually tell you don't want it to mount.

Fast method (be sure about the UUID):

$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda4 during installation
UUID={} /               ext4     defaults,subvol=@ 0       1
# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID={}  /boot/efi       vfat    umask=0077      0       1
# /home was on /dev/sda4 during installation
UUID=3dfc046ght43-2e3-40bc-81c8-23e84e820450 /home           ext4   defaults,subvol=@home 0       2



UUID=2ed003df-e139-48a6-b15a-25378925789 none   none uid=0,owner,noauto 0 0

#This last line has been added by you. Just subst it with you Macintosh HD partition UUID.

  • Which UUID is it?: pastebin.com/4EYX24pX - Assuming it is "50bed008-d67a-34b4-b2bb-9186d33e6189"

  • I see you have /dev/sda2: UUID="50bed008-d67a-34b4-b2bb-9186d33e6189" LABEL="Macintosh HD" TYPE="hfsplus" PARTLABEL="Macintosh HD" PARTUUID="00003d05-5081-0000-e40f-0000222a0000"
