Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

        Mounting usb stick with umask 0444, either through fstab or udisks.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

        e.g udisks --mount /dev/sdb4 --mount-options umask=0444
        or just mount /dev/sdb4 if it's in fstab with the umask=0444 option

   * What was the outcome of this action?

        While accessible and usable both through GUI(if navigating to
/media/LABEL) and command line, following happens:

        1. The device icon (in the list of available devices in the left upper
corner of the Nautilus file manager window) disappeared.
        2. It also does not show up in the list "Removable disks and shares" of
nautilus-sendto.
        3. It is impossible to "unmount/eject" the device by pressing the eject
button in the list of mounted "Removable Devices" (bottom right corner in
Gnome).

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

        Despite the fact that due to the umask=0444 content of the device
becomes not readable it is still writable and therefore I do expect, that:

        1. The device icon together with the "eject" button remains in place.
        2. It does show up in the list "Removable disks and shares" of
nautilus-sendto.
        3. It should be possible to "unmount/eject" the device by pressing the
eject button in the list of mounted "Removable Devices" (bottom right corner in
Gnome).

Thank you.

I might try to patch this if somebody will point me in the right
direction (which files to take look on).

Hey ST,

Could you please still reproduce this issue with newer nautilus version
like 3.8.2-3 or 3.12.2-1?

thanks

Pedro
