Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

This bug may in fact be part of HAL.

Nautilus for me lists two volumes which I am allowed to mount: 245 MB
Volume and a 59.6GB Volume. Double clicking these icons in Nautilus
CORRUPTS MY DATA.

The 245 MB Volume is representative of /dev/sda2, which is in actuality
an EVMS volume which is ALREADY MOUNTED as /dev/evms/boot. The 59.6GB
Volume is the "first 59.6GB" of a 400GB XFS file system which spans
/dev/sda4 and a few different MD devices. This is ALREADY MOUNTED as
/dev/evms/shares.

This is DANGEROUS.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Critical
         Status: Unconfirmed
