Stopping storage gadget on boot

I’m running the A6A image[1] on the BeagleBone. Every time it boots up via the USB connection it starts a storage gadget that mounts the FAT partition of the SD on the host computer. I’d like to prevent this from happening. I found here [2] that you could tell systemd to not run the service at boot by

**systemctl disable storage-gadget-init.service**

However, this doesn’t work. It still runs at boot time. However,

rm /lib/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/storage-gadget-init.service

does work. Is this the proper way to keep a service from running at boot?

I saw the same thing. I don’t know why the disable doesn’t work but I ended up doing the rm like you did.

I also wanted to remove the cloud9 and bone101 services and found that systemctl disable did work for those.
