Bug ID: 14581
Summary: Show device information in volume properties
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Thunar
Version: 1.6.15
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.8.0
Use case:
I have various USB sticks attached.
Some of the sticks are mountable (actually auto-mounted), others are
unmountable due to lack of drivers.
I want to format one of them, and for that, I need the name of the device that
the volume lives on.
I haven't sprung that particular trap yet, but I'm very worried that I'll
accidentally wipe my harddisk one day, due to "thick fingers" or being in a
hurry or distracted.
It would be nice if any volume, mounted or not, had device information: What
device it's living on, what partition.
I know that this information may be difficult to obtain, there's all kinds of
virtual devices (DM, LVM2, image files, loopback devices, sshfs etc.). Still,
if I see /dev/sdb I know that I'm looking at some real hardware and can act,
and if I get something funny I'm no worse off than without that information.
