Disable camera (PTP) storage on centos 6.4

This POST is to keep your Production machine safe from connecting any external device to your production machine.

To mount the camera (PTP) storage on linux system CentOS uses "gphoto2" RPM - run following command for querying the gphoto2 rpm

#rpm -q gvfs-gphoto2

now run the next command to erase that RPM

#rpm -e gvfs-gphoto2

Thats it...

Now when you connect your android phone OR iPhone to the PC that runs CentOS and you select camera (PTP) storage option it won't mount on your CentOS machine, because we have erased the "gvfs-gphoto2" rpm.
