Mark,

Try creating the following plist file com.apple.DiskArbitration.diskarbitrationd.plist in this location:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.DiskArbitration.diskarbitrationd.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">

<dict>

<key>DAMountDeferExternal</key>

</dict>

</plist>

I know it works under Tiger. I have not tried it under Leopard yet. It is an old hint from macosxhints.com .

So I've noticed that when I log off of the console of my Mac, it unmounts the external drives. Is there a way to keep this from happening? I would like to be able to access those files when I ssh in. (I assume Time Machine mounts the drives when backing up...)
