Stop prompting to unlock disk
Solution 1:
Instead of using UUID try using LABEL. This will help to rule out UUID problems.
The following line in /private/etc/fstab stops the drive named SpareSSHD from mounting on OS X 10.10:
LABEL=SpareSSHD none hfs rw,noauto
My drives are encrypted with FileVault2 and this works.

/private/etc/fstab and /etc/fstab are the same file. As @forquare confirms, they are symlinked. You can edit either.
