Make bind-mounts unmountable












0















I'm using Xubuntu 18.04 and upgraded from 16.04 recently. I'm also using an OwnCloud-based cloudstorage, for which I've added a couple of mount-points in my fstab as follows:



# Store pictures on Stack storage, Stack doesn't allow symlinks so this is the next-best thing
/home/bas/Stack/Pictures /home/bas/Pictures none rw,bind 0 0

# Store documents on Stack storage
/home/bas/Stack/Documents /home/bas/Documents none rw,bind 0 0

# Store music on Stack storage
/home/bas/Stack/Music /home/bas/Music none rw,bind 0 0

# Store videos on Stack storage
/home/bas/Stack/Videos /home/bas/Videos none rw,bind 0 0

# Store public files on Stack storage
/home/bas/Stack/Public /home/bas/Public none rw,bind 0 0


This works like a charm, but I've got a slight problem after upgrading to 18.04: the 5 mountpoints are shown as detachable harddisks in Thunar. 16.04 didnt show them in that way, I'm not really sure what caused this change but I'm seeing it on both my laptops.



Is there something I can do to have the mounts not show up as disks in the Thunar sidebar?



Edit: I've found a couple of similar questions (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:mZSxalhbxdMJ:https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/409989/xfce-desktop-icon-for-bind-mounts%3Frq%3D1+&cd=3&hl=nl&ct=clnk&gl=nl&client=ubuntu , https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?300909-Hide-bind-mount-entries-in-Thunar , https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156371) but none provide a solution. I've tried the suggested systemd-based mount option instead but to no avail, it works but Thunar still shows the device as a mounted drive.



Edit 2: apparently, this is a bug in glib2, as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/1691908
