Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus.x86_64 3.0.2-1.fc15

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

  storage:/media/Data1 /mnt/Data1 nfs defaults,noauto,users,bg 0 0
2. create the mountpoint, for the example: /mnt/Data1
3.
4.

Actual results:
mountpoint /mnt/Data1 does not show up in nautilus
Expected results:

Comment 1 Tomáš Bžatek 2011-06-07 11:18:03 UTC
That's correct. We don't show mounts from /mnt by purpose. Place them in /media instead, should be visible then.

Hah, nice conflict. Let me talk to those guys.

Comment 2 Ferry Huberts 2011-06-17 12:56:32 UTC
I think the best solution is to let nautilus/gvfs look at fstab and present user mountable mountpoints

Agreed.
After all, what really makes the devices that Nautilus presents to the user so special? Is is the fact, that their mountpoints start with "/media"? No. It is the fact that they are {,un}mountable by the user.

Comment 4 Ferry Huberts 2011-09-23 14:16:26 UTC
any progress on this?
it's rather annoying to go into the shell to mount a share

Comment 5 Adam G. Metzler 2011-10-27 06:25:50 UTC
I'm having the same trouble on F16, but, my fstab mount entries are pointing to the /media directory. The difference with my problem, I believe, is that my fstab entry points to an apple time capsule that is only mountable as a cifs file system and not an nfs file system. The strange thing is that nautilus shows the devices and errors when trying to use those icons to mount the time capsule, though the mount succeeds. The error states that the mount operation has timed out. I'm able to browse to the location and see that the file system truly is mounted, but, the nautilus device buttons very rarely work as intended. Some times about 30 minutes to an hour later I receive the status notification that the mounted volume is ready at the bottom of the screen and other times it will never show.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:48:00 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-18 13:34:27 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
