Nautilus NFS shares listed under both Devices and Network

I have several NFS shares from my home server that I mount using fstab.  I am running a fully up to date installation of Gnome 3.12.  However, as my subject indicates, my NFS shares appear under both Devices and Network in Nautilus.  I've done some searching and not found much about this.  It is redundant and most importantly space wasting to have two lists of the same entries.  Is there a way I can eliminate this duplication?  Thanks.

Here is what I'm using in fstab to mount the shares:

 nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=14,hard,intr,user 0 0

Re: Nautilus NFS shares listed under both Devices and Network

You never mention "what" you are mounting to "where"...
Are your mount points inside your home folder?
Try mounting the nfs share to somewhere outside the home folder and then put a symbolic link to the mountpoint inside the home folder (or bind mount it inside home)

Re: Nautilus NFS shares listed under both Devices and Network

I indicated that I was trying to mount several NFS shares off my home server.  I should have mentioned that these are NOT NFSv4 shares.  Originally, I had the mount points inside my home folder.  I've since moved them in the /mnt directory and don't have duplicate entries.  Well, I don't have any entries under either Network or Devices.  I've made links to the directories where the NFS shares are mounted.  I was more curious if this was a bug with Nautilus or my own error as having the mount points in my home directory with other file browsers such as Dolphin in KDE did not yield duplicate entries with the same fstab mount options.

I guess the long and short of it is that if you are using Nautilus, have your NFS mount points outside your home folder.

Thanks.

Re: Nautilus NFS shares listed under both Devices and Network

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if any one has found a fix for this. I have not been able to find a fix. When using systemd to mount the NFS shares i get entry's in computer and network.

I have found that if i mount NFS shares in /media or /home that i get double entry's in nautilsu, but if i mount them in /mnt or just /(nfs), then i get no entry's on the left side of nautilus.
