Further findings. I think the reason why x-gvfs-show doesn't work is that package util- linux needs to be upgraded to 2.21+ to support the x-gvfs options.
In the meantime I tried changing the option in my /etc/fstab to "comment =gvfs-show", which seems to be the way to do it for older versions of util-linux. mount -a then worked immediately (I got one icon per volume) but after a reboot I still get two icons as per bug #1010858. But as regards *this* bug, the real fault is that it's depending on a feature in util-linux-2.21+ and that package hasn't (yet, presumably) been updated yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011257 Title: x-gvfs-show option doesn't work Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: was reporting a separate bug #1010858 about double icons appearing for mounted filesystems, and it occurred to me that it was happening for volumes I had listed in /etc/fstab with uhelper=udisks, the mechanism i used in previous versions to mount internal drives and see them in launcher etc. In investigating, I found the apparently-new gnome-disk-utility "Disks" and that seems to have new options for doing this properly, but when I tried to use them in closest-to-default way, it failed. The attached screenshot shows the options I had set on a volume. Below is the line that generated in /etc/fstab: LABEL=Spinner /mnt/Spinner auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0 It fails to mount when you try to mount it in the disk utility. An error dialogue opens with: Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdg1: Command-line `mount "/mnt/Spinner"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so (udisks-error-quark, 0) dmesg | tail gives: [ 619.470006] EXT4-fs (sdg1): Unrecognized mount option "x-gvfs-show" or missing value I expect the bug isn't so much in the disk utility app itself as in the underlying mount tools that have probably been compiled without a required option, but the user experience is that it fails when using the disk utility, hence reporting it here for now. I suspect I can make this work a different way using prior knowledge, to make it mount in /media and using uhelper=udisks2 - will be trying that in a moment - but this seemed the logical, minimal way to proceed for the new utility and it failed.
