[SOLVED] Hide drives & bind folder from nautilus

rhoit · 2013-01-17 23:27:51

I have trying to hide some of my drives from nautilus side-bar for long time after i moved to arch.

i had been following the post 124445 but /etc/udev/rules.d is not working for me!

I'm using
# Window Manager: Compiz
# Desktop Environment: Xfce
# File Browser: Nautilus

EDITED:

Binded Folder problem detail in post #9

If your drives are mounted under /media try mounting them to another path.
I remember doing this in Ubuntu. Never tried with Arch tho.

rhoit · 2013-01-18 04:05:43

yup! you are correct but i can't keep everything in /media or /mnt
but i got binded folders and stuff! which also keep on showing in nautilus

For the udev rules, try using UDISKS_IGNORE instead of UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE.

it didn't work!

here is my rule

[rho@i7520 ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-hide-partitions.rule 
KERNEL=="sda7",ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda8",ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda9",ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

EDITED:

Thanx anonymous_user
IT works! the extension should have been *.rules

But it doesn't solve the binded folder problem! details in post #9

After making the rules did you either reboot or run the following commands:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger

rhoit · 2013-01-18 06:03:43

yup i did reboot my system!

'/etc/udev/rules.d/10-hide-drives.rules' solved my problem! BUT still few more

# Problem 1
Some weird problem Occured NOW Music drive still seems to be shown when i open file browser ( nautilus ) and it remains there.
but if i open

$ nautilus /

before opening my home folder then its not shown!

# Problem 2
It seems that the binded folder seems to have the problem! and it add the device icons!
i have used fstab to mount it with option auto,x-systemd.automount

Weird Problem /dev/sda8 ==> /home/rho/Music
Binded folder /media/Dump/downloads ==> /home/rho/Downloads

here is my fstab

You can remove these entries from fstab and use systemd mount units instead. This way nautilus will not display these drives/directories.

To give you an example, for your bind mount you could create the file /etc/systemd/system/home-rho-Downloads.mount with the following contents:

[Unit]
Description=Bind mount for my Downloads

[Mount]
What=/media/Dump/downloads
Where=/home/rho/Downloads
Type=none
Options=bind

[Install]
WantedBy=local-fs.target

Then you can activate it with systemctl start home-rho-Downloads.mount and/or start it automatically at boot with systemctl enable ...
Systemd should be smart enough to mount any other needed drives/directories first.

For more options check the manpages of systemd.unit and systemd.mount.

I'm having the same problem, but my mount point contains space in the directory name, I tried \ 040 as in fstab and it did not work, searched the wiki and found nothing, anyone know what to do?

You can check the .mount file that systemd creates at runtime from the fstab entry in /run/systemd/generator to see how the space character is handled.

I copied the file and still gave error:

gdrive.mount 's Where setting does not match unit name. Refusing

systemd.mount(5):

Mount units must be named after the mount point directories they control. Example: the mount point /home/lennart must be configured in a unit file home-lennart.mount. For details about the escaping logic used to convert a file system path to a unit name see systemd.unit(5).

systemd.unit(5):

Some unit names reflect paths existing in the file system name space. Example: a device unit dev-sda.device refers to a device with the device node /dev/sda in the file system namespace. If this applies a special way to escape the path name is used, so that the result is usable as part of a file name. Basically, given a path, "/" is replaced by "-", and all unprintable characters and the "-" are replaced by C-style "\x20" escapes. The root directory "/" is encoded as single dash, while otherwise the initial and ending "/" is removed from all paths during transformation. This escaping is reversible.

So unless you are trying to mount something at /gdrive, your unit filename is wrong.

Leduck · 2013-02-04 18:56:58

Sorry, I do not yet fully accustomed with systemd. Really, the problem was in the file name that I changed to get better visually. I left as I was on / run / systemd / generator and I found strange because the status says no is ok, but this mounting the folder correctly. I copied the file manually to / etc / systemd / system / local-fs.target.wants because I could not do enable. The .mount is enabled equal the .service?

alexoz · 2013-02-04 19:15:10

To be able to enable/disable automounting at boot, you need an [Install] section in your .mount file (see post #10 above). Then you can keep your .mount file in /etc/systemd/system, and systemd will create the necessary shortcuts when you "enable" it.

Every thing worked! thanx a lot alexoz
thanks Leduck too..without your comment i wouldn't have look into the thread!
