@Steve, under bug #839118, you pointed out it was odd that I had a
system with a mountpoint of "none". Perhaps another bug I filed recently
may be related to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/865026

As best I can recall, when I started using Ubuntu, with version 8.04, it
was on a dual-boot system with Windows; the NTFS partitions were listed
in /etc/fstab with a mount point of "none". My current computer is a
different computer, but the file systems have a generally similar
configuration: it's a dual boot system, with Windows partitions and
Linux partitions on separate drives. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a
second hard drive, and it listed the NTFS partitions with mount points
of "none". I later created an NTFS partition with a specified mount
point, in order to share files between Linux and Windows. Two other
partitions I specified mount points recently, as a workaround for the
problem in Bug #865026.

I tried commenting out the lines for the partitions that had originally
been assigned mount points of "none", including two which I had assigned
mount points, /mnt/SYSTEM_RESERVED and /mnt/Gateway, and found that the
latter two again appeared in the sidebar in Nautilus, allowing
unprivileged users to mount them.

I also found that moving the swap partition line higher in /etc/fstab
worked, unless it was listed before the partition with the mount point
of "none", as in the attached fstab. In that case, the swap partition is
not mounted.
