Yea, of course we should hide such bizarre mount points. My point was merely we ought to show drives/mounts even if the user is not privileged to mount them. > > > > We should only display "/media/*" and "/mnt/*" Yup, that's one option, maybe just resort to showing entries from /media then alexl's /mnt/hdb1 drive won't be shown (and if alexl wants it to be shown he can move the mount point to /media). Personally I think we should just hide all the directories and subdirs as defined by FHS2.3. We do that here http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-vfs/libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-hal-mounts.c?view=markup in function _hal_volume_policy_check() though I'm unsure whether this code is used at the moment (will look into that).
