x-gvfs-show: Cannot display second hard drive left side of nautilus

Question

I am trying to get fstab option x-gvfs-show to work as expected on my default installation of Debian/buster/amd64. I did stumble upon:

• What is the difference between mounting in fstab and by mounting in file manager answer.

but it does not seems to be working for me.

---

I did experiment with a remote CIFS network drive and can go from:

to:

Simply adding in /etc/fstab the following line:

$ tail -1 /etc/fstab
//freebox_server/freebox /media/freebox cifs rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,guest,defaults,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=30,_netdev,nobrl,iocharset=utf8,vers=1.0 0 2

If now I try with a second hard drive the same trick to mount disk under /media, I can neither get the following to work:

/dev/disk/by-uuid/4c0ec08d-da8b-4ea0-9d9d-2bc5ceb1fb66 /media/backup ext4 nosuid,nodev,nofail,noatime 0 2

nor:

/dev/disk/by-uuid/4c0ec08d-da8b-4ea0-9d9d-2bc5ceb1fb66 /media/backup ext4 nosuid,nodev,nofail,noatime,x-systemd.automount,x-gvfs-show 0 2

What am I missing ? For reference:

Option 1:

Navigate to the target mount point, and bookmark it. Possibly not what you had initially in mind, but it works. Source: https://askubuntu.com/a/1036779/226614

Notes:

1. Did you reboot your system since implementing changes?
2. Is your drive mounted?
3. There is a related bug. What is you Gnome version? System/kernel? Many of these issues vary from version to version, so it is best if you post more details.
