I've got an eSATA enclosure with a drive in it, formatted to ext3, assigned it a label.
I can mount it as root and write to it etc.
I've changed /etc/fstab so that I can mount it as a user as I don't want it to automount (or auto fsck) as it might not always be plugged in:
LABEL=/data5 /media/data5 ext3 noauto,rw 0 0
So now I can [un]mount it as a normal user from the console, or via Nautilus' Places menu (where e.g. USB drives appear) however, the grey icon in Nautilus doesn't change to blue to show it's mounted, and clicking on it again shows an error that it's already mounted - and it is, as I can unmount it:
mount: /dev/sdd1 already mounted or /media/data5 busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdd1 is already mounted on /media/data5
However right-clicking on the drive icon in Nautilus shows the 'mount' option, not the option to unmount it.
So I guess it's a Nautilus bug....?
