Dell systems showing "DIAGS" in Nautilus bar

[Mario Limonciello]

[Impact]

 * Dell factory installed Linux systems are showing the partition "DIAGS" in the Nautilus bar
 * Also, Dell systems configured as a dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu 14.04.x show the same behavior.
 * This has been fixed in udisks2 upstream release 2.1.5

 * This partition is not supposed to be accessible easily to users in any OS.

[Test Case]

 * Create a FAT32 partition called diags and verify that it doesn't show up in the Nautilus bar after a reboot.

[Regression Potential]

 * Regression potential is that anyone who is using this partition to store data won't be able to easily access it anymore

On my Asus Zenbook I have "Recovery" and "IntelRST" which should be hidden, and they are not:

# recovery partitions
ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ntfs|vfat", \
  ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="Recovery|RECOVERY|HP_RECOVERY|Recovery_Partition|DellUtility|DellRestore|IBM_SERVICE|SERVICEV001|SERVICEV002|SYSTEM_RESERVED|System_Reserved", \
  ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

# intelrst
ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ntfs|vfat", ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="IntelRST", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

Can you fix the upload for trusty so that the changelog has (LP: #1455533), the # was missing meaning the Launchpad bugs were referenced.
Thanks,

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

Yes, just added it. Thanks.
