You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Normal users can create and mount fuser-filesystems, such as encfs. By
doing "encfs ~/somedir ~/some-other-dir", these filesystems correctly
show up on the desktop as mounted filesystems.
However, if you right-click and select "unmount" you get a error-message
saying you cannot unmount the filesystem, because it does not appear in
fstab, and you are not root.
This is factually incorrect -- you *can* unmount the filesystem,
assuming you're the user who mounted it in the first place, by using the
command "fusermount -u directoryname"
Nautilus should recognize this kind of filesystem and call the
apropriate command for unmounting, so that it would work, instead of
falsely claiming that you cannot unount the filesystem.
Tested with encfs, likely to affect other similar filesystems like
sshfs.
Affects both Hardy and Intrepid
Update: Tested with the latest jaunty-alpha, still present.
** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Importance: Wishlist
Status: Triaged
