One of three volumes is shown in nautilus as volume as well as folder

[mazz0]

Hi Guys,

I have four partitions in total.

a with Ubuntu on it
b with Windows on it
c with all my files on it except for videos
d with my videos on it

Those are just arbitrary letters I'm referring to them by here - nothing to do with Windows drive letters.

I have them mounted as follows:

a as / (obviously!)
b as /Windows
c as /home/mazz0
d as /home/mazz0/Videos

Took me a while to get that arrangement working, with one volume mounted within another, but in the end I found that all I had to do was make sure c was mounted before d!

Here's my fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sdb3
UUID=1abd3705-f562-437f-8565-f15c00250c2f / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sdb2
UUID=6c6a8e0a-e47f-4e52-9b77-7b3c456c7332 none swap sw 0 0
# /dev/sdc5
UUID=c8b892ea-a4d1-4c24-9ff5-3f3e27b9167f none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
# 300GB drive as home folder for mazz0
/dev/sdc1 /home/mazz0 ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0
# 500GB drive as Videos folder for mazz0
/dev/sda1 /home/mazz0/Videos ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0
# 120GB drive as Windows
/dev/sdb1 /Windows ntfs relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0

Everything works fine, my only issue is this: partition d (/home/mazz0/Videos) shows as a volume in Nautilus! It shows in the correct place as a folder as well, which is where it takes you when you open the volume in Nautilus, but I don't want it to be shown as a volume too! Partitions a, b and c are not shown as volumes.

Any suggestions?

a is shown as Filesystem
b: You should mount the /dev/sdb1 as /media/Windows to show it up as a volume
c: The home folder (/home/username) is never shown up as a volume.
d: Not sure about this.. Its showing up 400.1GB media in the Computer, while it is a 500GB volume as your fstab indicates?

paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdX'

substitute X with a, b & c for all 3 drives

@ LinuxIsInnovation

Yeah - I thought only things in /media or /mnt would show up as volumes, which is why I don't understand why my 400gb volume shows up as one when it's not mounted in either of those folders. Thing is, I don't want any of them to show up as volumes, I only want removable media as volumes.

Oh, and it says 500gb drive in the comment in my fstab cos it's a 500gb drive, but I only get 400.1gb of that when formatted (that's as Ext3 - I think it was 375gb as NTFS -is that cos ext3 is better or is it more complicated than that?)
