I think this is a Unity action, not Nautilus

** Package changed: nautilus (Ubuntu) => unity

** Summary changed:

- Unable to open a folder for 10 GB Filesystem", "No application is registered 
as handling this file... Nautilus pops browser on bash partition mount
+ Unable to open a folder for 10 GB Filesystem", "No application is registered 
as handling this file... or Nautilus pops browser when partition is mounted in 
bash script

** Description changed:

  I first noticed this behaviour in Ubuntu 11.10. When I run my bash
  script that mounts partitions on my hard drive (e.g /dev/sda5), Nautilus
  pops up with a browser window. This is an illogical action, since I've
  not 'inserted a drive', it's already there, and it's just been manually
  mounted. This Nautilus action will interfere with the scripts operation
  since, when the script tries to unmount the drive (rapidly) it finds
  that Nautilus is still busy with it, producing it's browser window.
  
  If I run chmod 700 on the mountpoint prior to mounting (root only
  access), then I get a popup message stating: "Unable to open a folder
  for 10 GB Filesystem", "No application is registered as handling this
  file". This is because the mountpoint is not accessible to the logged in
  user.
  
  You wouldn't expect this if you mount a partition from the terminal -
  and for the most part this is correct (Nautilus does nothing), but not
  all the time. I've managed to trigger Nautilus to pop just with a simple
  terminal mount.
  
  I have a workaround in my bash script that creates a udev rule and runs
  udevadm trigger to hide the partition, but this seems extreme. I believe
- it's a bug in Nautilus in how it responds to the signal that a partition
- has been mounted.
+ it's a bug in Unity(?) (maybe Nautilus?) in how it responds to the
+ signal that a partition has been mounted.
  
  Please see this for complete details and discussion of possible
  solutions (and the bash script code):

  partition-mounted-in-bash-script
  
  I understand you can prevent Nautilus responding to inserted drives
  etc., but this is definitely not the case here - the drive is already
  there, just the partition is being mounted.
