Public bug reported:

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.
