I want gnome3, hald, etc to stop trying to mount USB drives

FreeBSD 10.3 and Gnome 3.18.2

It drives me nuts that something (probably sysutils/hal) tries to mount my USB3 multi-terabyte drives after I just newfsed or umounted them (or plugged one in). I removed the /media directory to prevent this, but it gets recreated automagically. I do not want any automount behavior. My x11/gnome3 media settings are all set to "Do Nothing".

What is the right way to get the x11/gnome3 ecosystem to leave my USB drives alone?
 
Try to enter
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false

Or use devel/dconf-editor

Initial testing of the gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false looks good using a flash drive.
