[Bug 999742] [NEW] Partitions displayed as removable devices

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This is my /etc/fstab:

# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=<my-uuid-here>  /                        ext4  defaults,relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro    0  1  
# /home was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
UUID=<my-uuid-here>  /home                    ext4  defaults,relatime                              0  2  
# /home/mac/runtime was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=<my-uuid-here>  /media/runtime-mac       ext4  defaults,relatime,discard                      0  2  

sda1 and 3 are ext4 partitions of the same SSD, while sdb1 is an ext4
partition of a regular spinning HD.

My problem is that while the mounting process works flawlessly, the sda3
partition is displayed as a "removable device" in gnome (although of
course a regular user can't even unmount it).
