Title:
  nautilus ignores options in /etc/fstab

Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10
  nautilus 1:3.2.0-0ubuntu5

  Unlike in Ubuntu 11.04, nautilus now lists unmounted partitions in the
  left panel, and allows regular users to mount them, even if /etc/fstab
  specifies "nouser", and otherwise ignores options defined in
  /etc/fstab, if the mount point in /etc/fstab is "none". Specifying a
  mount point inhibits nautilus from listing the unmounted partitions.

  For example, my /etc/fstab included the following:
  UUID=C25CE7335CE72141	none	ntfs	noauto,nouser,ro	0	0

  Through nautilus, I could mount this partition, create files, and delete them, as a regular user. Obviously, given the options, this is not desired behavior. Changing the line so that there was a defined mount point, as below, inhibits this behavior, so that a regular user does not see the partition listed in nautilus:
  UUID=C25CE7335CE72141	/etc/Gateway	ntfs	noauto,nouser,ro	0	0

  As dual-boot configurations are common among Ubuntu users, this is
  likely to be a common occurrence.
