[Bug 394088] Re: DeviceKit tries to automount EFI partition on Intel Mac at GNOME login

 

The automounting problem is already covered in bug 396448, but it seems
that we shouldn't offer the EFI partition at all (which I'll use this
bug for).

** Summary changed:

- DeviceKit tries to automount EFI partition on Intel Mac at GNOME login
+ Ignore EFI partition on Intel Macs

-- 
Ignore EFI partition on Intel Macs
