Title:
  Partitions displayed as removable devices

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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).
