Public bug reported:
Since updating to karmic, nautilus will display the mounted volume as,
for example, "160GB Drive", but when mounted, every reference within the
system is as "01EFC-DFDFD-DFDFD-DFDFDF" or similar.
This is poor for users who don't understand what on earth that is. I
belive the problem is due to dropping HAL, which I think sorted out neat
mount points (or symlinks to the volume id) using the name.
I think that puts this bug in device kit, but I can't fathom how to
report a bug in a given package, I know it's not a bug in nautilus, as
it's in the gtk browser and also any terminal access. It took me about
half an hour to find how to register this bug in launchpad, I almost
gave up. but. that's another bug for another place..
If you want to recreate the bug, just attach a large drive maybe a usb
key. See in nautilus it referred to as 160GB drive, mount and enter
some folders. See the path bar in the nautilus window reference the hex
string.
Thanks.
