[Bug 84363] nautilus can't remount non-removable media

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Nautilus can unmount non-removable media like NTFS-partitions through
the desktop or via the file manager. However it can't mount them back on
because pmount complains:

error: device /dev/hda2 is not removable

error: could not execute pmount

It would seem consistent that mounting non-removables would be possible.
Either via pmount or by executing the regular mount command (think of
users that accidentally unmount their drives and then panic when the
drive won't come back)

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
