My partitions are shown in the "computer" as "59G Hard drive : 59G

Is this still an issue in GNOME 2.22/2.24? Should be better nowadays...
Comment 2 Marco Navarra 2009-06-18 16:51:02 UTC
in 2.22.3 (Debian Lenny) it's ok, in Computer I can see partitions named as mount points. I think we can close the bug?
Comment 3 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2009-08-29 22:13:42 UTC
Well, we have three issues here:
1. Showing partition labels
2. If not, showing a 'usable' name.
3. Allowing to change the label of a partition

Only the first one is fixed in Nautilus.  But, when using
an USB disk with several partitions without labels, it is
hard to realize which one it is, speacially when two or 
more partitions have the same size.  Or, when two USB sticks
without partition labels have the same size.

If anybody has time to test: Are these two still valid in GNOME 3.2?

We don't show the Computer anymore.
