[Gllug] how to exclude some users from a drive?

[James Holland]

Alternatively, in Gnome, click on System, Administration, Users and
Groups. For each user click on Properties, then click on User Privileges
and untick cdrom and other drives.

Or, sudo gedit /etc/group and make sure that you are the only user for
the drives you require.
