Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility
Palimpsest Disk Utility shows an icon for unmounting a disk volume even if the
user doesn't have permission to unmount it.
To recreate:
Select the partition mounted at /
The unmount icon in the toolbar is enabled. After clicking on it I get a
error: "Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
umount: only root can unmount UUID=84cadf52-515e-47d7-a0c7-a12bb53ea9a3 from /"
I also noticed the Delete button is also enabled, but I don't think I
want to see if it does anything.
The program should be able to determine if the user has permission
beforehand and disable the buttons.
