I think you need to just comment out that line in /etc/fstab. (put # at
the start of the line) (you will need to be root)

(Or change the "auto" to "noauto".)

Oh, hang on... do you mean the contents of /etc/fstab change
automatically depending on whether you have the drive attached or not?

That is weird: I think udev is used to handle new drives, but I thought
that was an alternative to /etc/fstab, not something that would write to
/etc/fstab.

But I don't really know what I'm talking about, so I'll shut up here :-)
