This is happening because the HAL backend in GVFS is being used to set
the name for volumes. If the volume's label isn't set, then HAL has no
clue of what the volume's name should be, and it falls back to setting
it based on the volume's size (%s media).

This can be fixed by setting the volume label on the file system so that HAL 
will read it correctly. This page contains the information on how to do this 
for various common file systems.

We could patch this in for Ubuntu if the mount location's name is really
the preferred way to go for us, but I'm not sure if this is really an
upstream issue.
