Getting list of internal partitions in volume manager (eg. thunar)

It's always been an annoying point for me that I can't see the list of unmounted internal partitions (partitions on fixed hard drive, not removable) without some annoying fstab work. However, in other distros (where you don't have to do the grunt work yourself) it autodetects all the partitions and gives you a list in your volume manager but yet leaves them unmounted.

I've tried to do some searching on the wiki here and over at gentoo, but wasn't able to find anything - maybe my keywords were incorrect or something. Can somebody point me the way?

I'm using openbox and thunar+volman if it matters.

Guess it's one of those things not possible with Thunar.. yet.
Some searching suggests you're not the only one with this question.
I found http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=80589 with a patch that shows the devices in the sidepane, but no (un)mounting from Thunar I'm afraid.

Hmm.. interesting.

Thanks for that. I guess I'll have to try out others until I find one that I like.
