Description

Hello,

I use the fuse file system on several devices type ( gphotofs, sshfs, etc ... ) and sometimes this device got an entry in fstab. For this devices, it appears in thunar on the left panel ( devices and bookmarks ), and i can mount it and use it without problem.

But i have to use a terminal to unmount this devices, with the command :

fusermount -u /path/to/mountpoint

Right clic on the device in thunar, then "Unmount the device" ( or similar ) just cause an error "mount disagree with fstab" ( or similar ). I think thunar always use the command "umount", which can not be used for fuse devices. An other idea was a custom action, but i can not use it for the left panel. Is there a way to force to use fusermount for many devices ? With a udev rule ? I tried to search for a solution with debian sid + xfce 4.10.1 + thunar 1.6.3-1 or Xubuntu 14.04, and ask on the forum ( http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=9030 ).

A solution is a trick, explained on this website : http://www.unicom.com/blog/entry/651

I think it would be a nice feature to differenciate the fuse devices for a better integration in thunar.

Many thanks for your work
