Prevent Bazzite from auto-mounting Windows' EFI partition on a dual boot system

There is no reason for Bazzite to mount it, and it causes Windows to force check the partition every time during boot up. I have spent a lot of time looking for a way to stop it from mounting in Disks and /etc/fstab, but to no avail.

Please help me exclude it from being auto mounted.

As root copy the steam automounter udev rules from:

/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-steamos-automount.rules



to:


/etc/udev/rules.d/99-steamos-automount.rules



Comment the two lines that begin

by adding a

at the start of them i.e:

#ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemd-run --no-block --collect /usr/libexec/hwsupport/block-device-event.sh add %k"
#ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemd-run --no-block --collect /usr/libexec/hwsupport/block-device-event.sh remove %k"



reload the udev rules:

udevadm control --reload
