[Bug 79326] [Feisty] drivemount applet shows non-unmountable volumes

[José M. López-Cepero]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

Just upgraded from Edgy to Feisty.

My computer has a floppy disk, two DVD units and a single hard drive.
The HD has two FAT-formatted partitions (one for Windows XP, other for
storing and exchanging data) and a extended partition containing three
Linux partitions (root, /home and another one I mount on /mnt/stuff).

The drive mount applet in Edgy correctly showed only the floppy disk, as
well as any USB drive or card reader I had plugged in. Whenever I
inserted a DVD in any of the drives, it also showed up.

The Feisty version also shows three other volumes, corresponding to the
"stuff" partition and the two FAT partitions. Not only can't they be
unmounted by users (they do not have the 'user' flag in fstab), but even
if they could that would be of dubious utility, since they are
partitions in a fixed hard drive.

I suggest excluding all partitions explicitly appearing in /etc/fstab
which do not have the 'user' flag from the applet listing.

** Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
