Nautilus shows wrong volume names for mounted drives

assigning to desktop bugs

Thanks for your bug. A log from lshal would be welcome for that. Is the issue specific to the computer place, or does it happen with the nautilus sidebar or the places menu from the panel?

That might be a part of the issue described upstream on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341446 and changes might need to be updated

I am attaching a dump from the command lshal and also a screenshot of the problem. I booted into windows and gave a name to my windows partition, "C:" drive and on ubuntu it still shows the "tml>" name.
I am trying to figure out where HAL keeps the names stored for the partitions.

I have this same problem. The nautilus sidebar is correct, it only shows mounted partitions. My root partition is listed twice in Computer. I also have a paritition named wrong, but not that same partition or name.

sort of the same issue than bug #47349, might be fixed with gnome-vfs 2.14.2 that will be uploaded to dapper-updates after dapper

the "tml>" label comes from hal according to the log

The upgrade from 6/15 didn't fix it for me. I am not sure if the appropiate fixes were included in this upgrade. I also restarted the machine and still see the "tml>" icon that points to my windows partition.

Is there a way to rebuilt the database that HAL uses, perhaps that is what I need to do so that the wrong entries gets cleared?

I spoke too soon, the upgrade from 6/16 fix it for me. I had to wait for "gnome vfs" to be update for the changes to happen.

I guess the desired effect is to not display the windows partition or any other partitions. I kind of liked having the windows partition been shown except for the name that was given to it.

Maybe in the future the user can be given the option of whether or not display the partitions. The option can be set during the installation of the OS and it would give a choice for the people that like seeing all the partitions.

Update from 6/16 removed the "Linux / Root Drive" icon which was beside "Filesystem", but still there are some partitions shown in Computer which are noauto in fstab or even not written there. That is only for Computer; Nautilus sidebar shows correct. Plus, still can't change the partition names (which was renamed from "hda5" to "15.1 GB Volume:hda5" after upgrade)

no need of a nautilus task
