Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Go to "Computer" to see list of available volumes. Right click on any of
them. Choose "Rename". The system will allow you to edit the name of the
volume but when you push the enter key you'll always get an "Operation
not supported by backend" message.
I think renaming a volume should do the following:
1- Ask for administrative permissions.
2- Unmount the volume if it is mounted.
3- Check for the file system in place.
4- Use the appropriate command to change the volume label.
5- Mount the file system back if it was mounted before.
This should work for all types of disks and volumes.
Alternatively, labeling might be done on a per-user basis by keeping a
list of volume names at the users home folder with the correspondence
between the real name and the user-given name.
Why:
If we're talking about real renaming, ordinary users should not be required to
know how to use a bunch of different command line tools to change the name of a
disk, or start a partition editor application to do such renaming.
If we're talking about per-user naming, two users might want to call
partitions differently.
To the devs:
Take the easiest approach, but make "right clicking to rename" functional.
