Re: Squeeze: How to hide certain partitions in Nautilus

[Hoang Le <linux.lehoang@gmail.com>]

Nautilus displays partitions that are mounted, either manually or by an

automatic system (e.g., GNOME's volume manager, udisks, etc..).

I think Nautilus sidebar displays unmounted partitions as well, because I need to mount my Windows partitions ( by clicking on that partition and providing root pass word ) when I want to open them.

 

Run "mount" so we can see where are they mounted. Maybe they're under "/

media" :-?

When the 2 partitions I mentions are not mounted:

#mount

/dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)

tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)

proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)

tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)

fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)

binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

When those 2 partitions are mounted ( see the last 2 lines: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 ). They are mounted under /media

#mount

/dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)

tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)

proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)

tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)

fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)

binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

/dev/sda1 on /media/System Reserved type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)

/dev/sda2 on /media/HP_TOOLS type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush)

Thank you for the help,
