[ From http://bugs.debian.org/433837 by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña ]

"Nautilus shows in the Desktop sometimes volumes which are handled by the system (in /etc/fstab) but the user has no access to them (no 'user' option there). 

However, the contextual menu for the volume device will show the "Unmount volume" option. This action will always fail (only root can unmount them).

Shouldn't it be hidden from view (shadowed) like all other options that do not apply to volumes (Cut, Copy, Move to Thrash...)?"

This should no longer occur.
