Bug Description
Let me start with the definitions of GDrive, GVolume and GMount...
From: http://
«GDrive represent a piece of hardware connected to the machine. It's generally only created for removable hardware or hardware with removable media. It is a container class for GVolume objects that stem from the same piece of media.»
From: http://
«The GVolume interface represents user-visible objects that can be mounted.»
From: http://
«GMount is a "mounted" filesystem that you can access. Mounted is in quotes because it's not the same as a unix mount, it might be a gvfs mount, but you can still access the files on it if you use GIO. Might or might not be related to a volume object.»
So the relations between the three items are:
GDrive <1-n> GVolume <1-1> GMount
First of all now we do not consider a GMount that that is not associated to any GVolume, but this is not the bug (it is just a feature request).
Let me explain the bug now... In Unity we have an icon for each GVolume so if we have a USB pen drive (the GDrive) with two or more partitions (the GVolumes) in the launcher will be shown two or more partitions.
You could say: «Well, where is the problem?» You are right but if the GVolume "belongs" to a GDrive in each quicklist we show "Open, Eject, Safely Remove"... So we have two or more "Eject, Safely Remove" for just one GDrive! So if we click on "Eject" and/or "Safely Remove" all GVolume icons associated to GDrive disappear.
=======
Desired solution:
- We represent each GVolume independently in the launcher if they belong to the same GDrive,
- The quicklist for each volume contains an "Eject parent drive" and/or "Safely Remove parent drive" option.
