Bug Description
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-
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.
