some disk volumes showing up that should probably be filtered

[Jamie Strandboge]

Starting the new ubuntu-session for gnome-shell, disk volumes are showing up on the desktop. This is fine, but I have a couple of bind mounts that I use for mounting in lxd that shouldn't be showing up.

$ mount|grep mapper
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root on /home/jamie/ubuntu/sbuild type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root on /home/jamie/bzr-pulls/snappy-apps type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)

In Unity, these would show up in the launcher, but I could right click on the launcher to hide them. Right click on the desktop icon in gnome-shell does not allow this.

As a workaround, there is:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop volumes-visible false

which indeed works around the problem, but it also means that if I plug in my phone, I don't see it show up on my desktop (and because nautilus doesn't pop up automatically, I have to remember to open the file manager manually and drill down to the phone).

For me, it would be great to have volumes visible with an exception list exposed via gsettings (or ideally, right click on the volume).

Another idea might be to have:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop only-removable-volumes-visible true

This is a bug in glib, not in nautilus. See Upstream issue: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782814
