[Bug 1399863] [NEW] prevent disappearance of other filesystems of the same device when removed safely/ejected

 

Public bug reported:

When a filesystem is securely unmounted/ejected in `nautilus` all its
other filesystems unmounted as well and the device disappears from the
list, making it necessary to disconnect and reconnect the device or it
is simply unmounted and the device stays in the list of external device,
making it possible to mount the filesystem again.

Both behaviors are useful. The former allows quick/"one click" removal
of a device no matter how many filesystems are on the device. The latter
avoids annoying necessity to reconnect the unmounted the devices in
order to be recognized. Therefore a setting for each filesystem should
be provided allowing one of the following behaviors:

  * unmount all filesystems of the device when one is unmounted
  * unmount the filesystem
  * specify a list of filesystems which ought to be unmounted when the filesystem is unmounted

There should be an extra function (button or menu entry) which allows to
recreate the list of device in order to avoid having them un- und
replugged again.
