Title:
  Mount screenlet blacklist option (with source)

Status in Screenlets — individual widgets development:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have slightly modified Mount screenlet to suit my needs... And I
  think that this modification can be interesting to wider audience.

  But, let me first explain: I have 4 hard drives in my machine and many
  partitions. My desktop was cluttered with drive icons, so I turned
  them off. But, I lost ability to unmount usb flash/hd disks from
  desktop. Next thing, I tried various Mount screenlets, but none of
  them had what I needed: display of only SOME of my drives.

  So, I made a modification of Mount screenlet to include a blacklist
  option for drives - what drives not to display in the list, and I also
  added parsing of /proc/mounts to include drives that are not found in
  fstab. To enable unmounting of USB flash disks, I also changed umount
  command to gvfs-mount -u (I didn't test if this works for drives found
  in fstab, as I don't have the need to unmount such drives).

  I attached changed source to this e-mail, if something like this is
  interesting to you. I still need some functionality in this screenlet,
  like gksu prompt if normal user cannot unmount the partition and
  ejecting of CD/DVD medias. I'm willing to solve this issues too, but I
  guess I'll need some guidance, as how to detect if fstab/mounts entry
  is CD/DVD, etc.

  I don't know how to make patch files, so I'm sending complete modified
  file. To test it, just copy Mount folder to Mount2 (I used this name
  for testing), and place Mount2Screenlet.py instead of
  MountScreenlet.py. You can find my (minimal) modifications using diff.
