Isn't this the expected behaviour? If I understand this correctly mounted drives are shown on desktop, regardless of where the actual mountpoint resides. If you try mounting it under /media/somedrive it'll still show up on the desktop. This is much the same way that USB-keys will show an icon on your desktop even though it most likely automounts under /media/disk or something similar. You can think of the mount icon that pops up on your desktop as a link. The directory you created on your desktop is still a directory if you don't have anything mounted to it.
If you don't want mounted devices shown on desktop, you can change that in gconf-editor: apps > nautilus > desktop: uncheck "volumes_visible" I would never have thought to mount drives under /home/[user]/Desktop myself, because it seems much cleaner when all mounted drives (except root) are mounted under /media/[somedrive] -- sshfs mounts remote folder to mountpoint AND as a drive on the desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376227 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
