[Solved]Thunar and pcmanfm do not show mounts defined in fstab anymore

For years I've had my smb mounts defined in fstab. Both mentioned file managers displayed those mounts (as unmounted, since I used "noauto") as "mountable devices" (I am using xfce4). Since one of latest updates the mount points are not shown any more.

The fstab mount defines /media/nas/xx/. The xx folder exists (for 10 years Arch Linux on my Thinkpad T410)  and the mounts could be mounted by selecting them.
Example of a fstab entry:
//cubie/xx /media/nas/xx cifs username=user,password=pwd,noauto,_netdev,users    0 0

Both filemanagers used to display this mount as a device and don't anymore.

Changing the mount points in fstab to a local (user) mount point resolved the issue - but I would like to understand what has changed. Why is /media not recognized any more by both of the ? . Why would I have to mount them locally?
Is it a systemd or an udisk configuration change?

Tried to add "x-gvfs-show" instead?

Is it a systemd or an udisk configuration change?

I'd primarily look at gvfs.

Thanks, Seth, that worked perfectly. Seems to be that some default value must've been changed. Marking the thread solved
