Description Riccardo Robecchi 2020-11-23 12:07:14 UTC 
SUMMARY
Device notifier opens the wrong directory if a bind mount is used. If I mount a partition (let's call it /dev/sda1, mounted on /mnt) and then bind mount a folder to another folder (e.g. /mnt/music to /home/user/music), clicking "open in file manager" in the device notifier opens the folder that's bind mounted and not the actual device. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. mount a device
2. bind mount a folder
3. open the device from the device notifier

OBSERVED RESULT
The bind mounted folder is opened.

EXPECTED RESULT
The main device folder is opened.
