Apologies if this is not the correct package to file this bug/regression
against.

On my 18.04 desktop installs (Gnome shell and Ubuntu Mate) when mounting
network shares (SMB and NFS) they no longer appear under Devices in file
manager (Nautilus or Caja), the mounts do succeed and are accessible at
their mount points.

In 16.04 and 17.10 these mounts appeared under Devices (Screenshot of
mounted network shares on Ubuntu Mate 17.10 attached)

I am using the following code to mount NFS shares

`sudo mount.nfs 192.168.2.123:/mnt/freenas-data1/photobackup
/media/philroche/photobackup`

and for SMB shares

`sudo mount.cifs //192.168.2.123/photobackup
/media/philroche/photobackup`

Is this a bug/regression, or perhaps it is an intentional change?

I did ask this on IRC in #ubuntu and askubuntu.com but no reply.

Expected behaviour:

I expected the mounted network shares to appear under Devices in File
manager

Actual behaviour:

Mounting network shares does succeed as expected but does not appear
under Devices in File manager as it did in previous releases.
