Bug Description

I have three mounted smb-shares, which are not writable for my current user (don't ask me why >:)

They are all existent in /media, so nautilus recognizes them as disks in the tree. Now, when I display the tree the icons of the disks are of the standard "disk" type. However, when I click on them it turns to a yellow lock. I think it is very strange to have a yellow lock on the disk icon and having to be reminded all the time that the disk is read-only.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Mount a smb disk in /media as read-only
2. Open nautilus and click on the disk
3. Watch your screen

What should happen:
1. Mount a smb disk in /media as read-only
2. Open nautilus and click on the disk
3. See the nice disk icon as existent in Breezy

A screenshot is available on http://broach.se/nautilus.png

Thanks for your bug. How do you "mount" the disks? Using the nautilus feature? Or using smbfs? You say "3. See the nice disk icon as existent in Breezy", how does nautilus acts on them with the version?

This is how it looks before clicking on the disk

Sorry, I didn't give enough information.
The filesystems are mounted with the "mount" command, not via nautilus.
Before clicking on the share, it looks like the attached screenshot "Before clicking". This is also the way it looked like in Breezy.
When I click the share, nautilus seems to read the status of the share and since it is read-only, it shows the "lock" icon (see attached screenshot "After Clicking"). This does not happen in Breezy.
The same thing happens if you click the "Filesystem". Nautilus finds that the filesystem is read-only and gives that the "lock" icon, too.
Subfolders are displayed correctly, and are not given the "lock" icon.
Please enquire for more information if I have not been clear enough.
Jonathan.

Having a "lock" emblem for a RO drive is consistant and useful, I don' think that's a bug. Anybody else with an opinion on that?

I think it makes perfect sense. So not a bug.

Well, having a lock icon on a disk might have perfect sense. At the very least, though, I feel that there is a little inconsistent behaviour here. The file selector dialog does not have these locks on the disk icons, and nautilus does only show the lock icon when the disks are clicked on. I think this confuses the user. The icon is changed when s/he clicks on the mounted disk and won't change back unless nautilus is restarted.
I am not sure whether this is the supposed behaviour, or if it is a bug.

There is an another bug about emblems not used by the GTK fileselector. The issue is that the lock icon should be displayed directly and not only after clicking. Upstream bug though if somebody wants to look if it's already know by them and forward it if required

This bug is not just for SMB shares, but for mounted file systems in general.

I've added a similar comment upstream.
