Bug Description

pantheon-files currently does not seem to support either UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE (old) or UDISKS_IGNORE .

Having certain partitions accessable to quest users or less computer savy ones could cause serious harm to the software: "putting files into this drive called 'recovery' because they are important to me" .... yes, you do a head -> table. A 90 yo grandmother (yes, those do use computers) thinks this makes lots of sense.

Also, this adds potential data-accessibility to files not intended for the current user, as it totally ignores any windows settings. So your daughter could find your pr0n. - to jump on the 'but the children' argumentation currently so well used by politicians.

I would strongly suggest you add system level support of hiding partitions. It would increase the level of computer knowledge needed to a 'no accident' level.
