Description Andrea Cimitan 2007-06-09 01:10:00 UTC 
I'm using new pata drivers which causes the device names to be sdaX.
My swap partition is sda1, and under "Computer" is shown (it shouldn't since it isn't browsable) and named UsbDisk, so when I put a _real_ UsbDisk it is renamed as disk-1 and so on...
It is also placed in gtk-gilechooser, causing usability problems

What it was expected to do:
1. Not show swap under Computer and gtk-filechooser
2. Not name it as "UsbDisk", since it isn't browsable and it isn't an usbdisk

this sounds like a hal bug or maybe udev or something, it's not g-v-m
Comment 2 Andrea Cimitan 2007-06-09 01:52:43 UTC
