    Yes - piling on here - AFAIK, security is neither allowed or not-allowed by Dolphin. The ownership and permissions of the file system and mount point(s) are in control of that, and admittedly a few other things depending on how your system is configured. Like PAM, udev, fstab, etc.

    Why do you think this is a security problem? IF the selected partitions mount, then they are owned by your user. They are, yes? If your are worried, test this by creating a new user. Log in as that user and attempt to access the partition(s) in question.

  • How to prevent Dolphin's mounting unmounted partitions

    I have some partitions with the same names as others and so sometimes pick the wrong on in Dolphin, which mounts it anyway. Seems to me this is a security problem. In order to use the mount command to do that, I have to use sudo.

    How can I stop Dolphin from doing that?

    Thanks in advance.
