Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Hi,
Am using Ubuntu Hardy (Alpha 3 through updates) and the nautilus version is 1:2.21.90-0ubuntu3.
My hard disk is partitioned into 3 other partitions apart from the ubuntu and swap partitions. These get mounted by nautilus automatically and appear on my desktop labelled as 'disk', disk1' and 'disk2' along with their sizes. The problem is that these labels change arbitrarily at each boot. This became a problem when I pointed transmission to download a torrent to a location on one drive, and on the next boot, transmission started from scratch and started downloading to another drive.
I understand that I should have labelled these drives, but didnt have any problems with this until now.
My suggestion is that nautilus should mount these drives according to the appearance in the partition table (/dev/sda1 -> disk, /dev/sda2 -> disk1, /dev/sda3 -> disk2, and so on, skipping the ubuntu and swap partitions of course).
Thanks!
Thank you for your bug. How do you mount them? What sort of disks are those?
