I have my microSD formatted to ext2 and when I connect to a Windows in mass memory mode it can't read the card and wants to format it. How do I prevent the microSD from being shared in mass memory mode?

You may try extfs.

Windows does not detect ext2 file system. This is the reason why /home/user/MyDocs is VFAT so that OS's like Windows can access it in mass storage mode.

If you have Linux (like ubuntu) installed on a PC/laptop then you will be able to access this microSD.

Wow the above posters appear to have missed the point entirely. I'm not aware of any way to not share the microSD, but is it such an annoyance to hit cancel when it tries?

I do believe it won't share it if you unmount the card before connecting, but that is a far bigger annoyance.

Could this be done by somehow modifying the osso-usb-mass-storage-disable.sh, osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh and osso-usb-mass-storage-is-used.sh in /usr/sbin?
