Public bug reported:
Hello,
This is a fresh installment of Hardy Alpha5 (i386).
A wish or tiny bug.
My system has two fixed hard drives with several partitions.
The partitions (volumes) are correctly mounted and they all appear on the
desktop surface and in the Places -> Removable Media menu, but the volume-names
are not very helpful or self explanatory (self-explaining).
See picture 1: http://bildr.no/view/159645
See picture 2: http://bildr.no/view/159647
The name "44.0 GB Media" is not very helpfull, it does not tell me anything.
Now I have to guess the volume name, whether it is sda1, sda5 or sdb6, etc.
Drop the decimals and add the actual partition name or label to the text. If
disk label is empty then use the device (eg. sda3) or mount-point (eg.
/media/sda3) names.
This label much better:
"Media sda6 (44GB)"
-------------------
The GNOME's disk-mounter applet gives better names to the volumes (in the
yellow help text).

Most importantly: Many thanks for the great work you do with Ubuntu.
