Rationale

The volume TailsData shows up in the Places menu but when clicking on it I get "Unable to mount TailsData /dev/dm-0 is mounted". I guess that’s no big surprise but then it should either be removed from the Places menu or open the folder where it is mounted (/live/persistent/sdb2_unlocked) if we think that makes sense.

Solution

Udisks introduces an udev property for that purpose. From man 7 udisks:

UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE

If set to 1 this is a hint to presentation level software that the device should not be shown to the user.

This should be applied to partitions with label (UDISKS_PARTITION_LABEL) TailsData.

This issue should be solved in branch bugfix/hide_TailsData_volume.

Perliminary testing:

• Doens’t work for me straight after creating persistent volume with tails-persistence-setup
• Works for me once rebooted with persistence activated

Merged in devel, fixed in 0.13.
