Nautilus displays nonfunctional eject button

[Andrew]

Nautilus displays an eject button for devices that I don't have permission to unmount. If the eject button is not going to work, Nautilus should not show it.

Example:

    1) The following line is in /etc/fstab:
        UUID=2b548eb8-fa67-46ce-a998-91d587dba62f /home/ak/annex ext4 defaults 0 0
    2) Nautilus displays an eject icon in the Places sidebar. (See attached screenshot)
    3) Clicking the eject icon causes the following error message to appear:
        Unable to unmount annex
        Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
        umount: only root can unmount UUID=2b548eb8-fa67-46ce-a998-91d587dba62f from /home/ak/annex

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
