Nautilus does not show mounts

[Silvio Bierman]

I use SSHFS to mount a number of directories on remote servers. Normally, when I create the mounts all Nautilus windows immediately show them in the sidebar and Nautilus also displays desktop icons for them.

Since my upgrade to Ubuntu 16.10 this no longer works properly. The mounts are not displayed in either the sidebar and on the desktop. After a certain time (at least minutes) the mounts sometimes appear but this seems inconsistent.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Is that still an issue? Could you describe how those mounts are configured exactly? It's weird that you describe the behaviour as inconsistent, it would make sense if they were always or never displayed but not changing...

No, this is no longer an issue. It went away when I moved to 17.04.

Kind regards,

Silvio
