How do I prevent directories mounted with 'bind' from appearing on 'Devices' on nautilus?

I have these lines in the fstab 

# binds
/media/DataNtfs/Music           /home/can/Music                  none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/Pictures        /home/can/Pictures               none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/Downloads       /home/can/Downloads              none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/Documents       /home/can/Documents              none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/Backups         /home/can/Backups                none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/Notes           /home/can/Notes                  none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/Other           /home/can/Other                  none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/Packages        /home/can/Packages               none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/Photos          /home/can/Photos                 none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/Videos          /home/can/Videos                 none    rw,bind 
/media/DataNtfs/WorkSpace       /home/can/WorkSpace              none    rw,bind

    • Mount them elsewhere. /media is automatically added. Mount them in /mnt and they will not appear (unless someone made a udev rule to do so). Nowadays everything seems to be mounted in /media but it used to be so that /mnt was for internal disks and /media for removable discs. No-one is stopping you from using /mnt!

    • Adding the x-gvfs-show as Arhimed pointed out in comments does not seem to work. This bug #1011257 affects both 12.10 and 13.04 and is due to a package that needs to be updated: util-linux.

    • Besides that you can cancel all automounting from dconf-editor:

  2. I upgraded 13.04 and they gone. I think developers take that as a wrong feature instead of a bug, and they fix it in 13.04. I suggest you to upgrade.

    This is my home directory

    I liked new look of the nautilus.
