For me this problem was not present in Edge but is (still) actual in Feisty. My root partition appears once as "Filesystem" (German: Dateisystem). When double click to this it browse to "/". A second time my root partition is listed like it's partition label (which is "Ubuntu") or as "20GB-Datenträger" (which means "20GB media") if no label is assigned. Double click on this icon has no effect. Right click on it allows me to mount it but this has not effect again.

Hi, I have the same problem in Feisty.

Nautilus shows my root partition twice: 1. as "/" and 2. as "6.3 GB Volume".

This appears both under "Computer" and under "Places" on the side-bar.

When I click on the "6.3 Volume" nothing happens. Right click shows me, that I can mount the partition, but after selecting it nothing happens. It's already being mounted, so no wonder here.

I read on some archlinux forum, that this is because there's no /dev/root link pointing to the root device before hal starts up. There is no such link even after that. According to the forum, the solution should be creating that link before hal starts.

I can not confirm this though, because I am not an expert and I don't want to screw my system in some way.

I wrote this, just because I am thinking, it could be some help for somebody, who knows better.:)

If you need some more information, let me know...
