Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gvfs

I am backing up a drive from one to another.

They both have the same on disk fs label 'storage-2'.

When they are connected (USB2) they show up like this under /media

/media/storage-2
/media/storage-2_

on the desktop they show up as

storage-2
storage-2

In nautilus file manager window the 'storage-2_' shows up as 'storage-2'
except in the window title it shows up as the real mount point name of
'storage-2_'.

I think all user visible locations should show the 'storage-2_' so that
the user can differentiate between the two drives, otherwise it is very
easy to get confused as to which drive they are working on. And in the
nautilus case it could be considered an outright bug to display the
'storage-2_' as 'storage-2' when you hit ctrl-L it shows it is really
'storage-2_'

Marking as low since this probably isn't a really common issue, but it
is highly confusing when it does occur.
