Bug#377715: nautilus: Inconsistent volumes display in "computer:///" with hal

[Pascal Dormeau]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.14.1-5
Severity: normal


I just upgraded from Sarge to Etch

With hal installed, computer:/// displays all hard drive volumes as far as they do not belong to the first level of 
the file system tree (e.g. /dev/hda8 mounted on /usr will not be shown whereas /dev/hda9 mounted on /usr/local will 
be !). Moreover, all those volumes are named 'Volume size_of_volume' which is not convenient to identify them. It 
must be added that most of them are not mountable/umountable by a normal user (therefore I do not see the interest 
for them to be displayed in computer:///). Therefore computer:/// is not usable with hal installed.

lshal does not exhibit device property differences that could explain that /dev/hda8 is shown but not /dev/hda9, 
apart from the mount points.

With hal not installed (and it was the behavior in Sarge with hal installed), computer:/// displays only hard drive 
volumes with mount points in /mnt and /media. Moreover they are nammed in a convenient way (e.g. /dev/hda13 mounted 
on /mnt/mp3 is called mp3).

May be this could be handled through a fdi rule (too difficult for a standard user like me, I do not see how to 
manipulate the volume.mount_point property) or through the gconf properties (but this lacks documentation).

Note that #373087 already mentions a related problem though it does not make the link with hal.
