gnome-shell thinks that my nfs mount in my home directory is 'removable storage' and I get constant popups asking what I want to do with it

[Gregory Gleason]

I have autofs set up with a static mountpoint inside my home directory. I use gnome-shell, and it constantly gives a popup notification at the bottom asking me to either 'Open with Files' or 'Eject'

no matter what I do, it will come back shortly thereafter, over and over, never ending.

Expected behavior is that an nfs mount is not considered 'removable storage' and doesn't give any sort of messages at all.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I agree, network mount points should not bring up a dialog. Especially since the user need to take an action to get rid of the dialog. Either let the dialog disappear automatically after a short while or, better yet, don't show it at all.
