OK, I added not only the no-fixed-drives.fdi file to stop Fedora
mounting all the partitions I deliberately left out of the fstab,
but I also tweaked a copy of it to match the volume.label string
on the usb disk I don't want it to mount, and it all seems to
be working perfectly now. I can put in a USB stick or a CD and
they get mounted, but the other drives stay unmounted.

Thanks!
