Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

In Jaunty the computer:/// of Nautilus was very neat. It only showed you the name of the partition and not the size of the hard disk it is on (like Karmic)

Is there anyway of removing the eyesore "500 GB Hardisk:" in front of the drives. It is rather unnecessary and takes the focus from most info the Name/Label/MountPoint of the partition.
Or it should be shown in a smaller and lighter text below the Name/Label/MountPoint.

Do I really need to see 500GB so many times, I bought the hard disk I know it is 500GB, I don't need to be reminded of it every day.

When one has given a label for a partition there is no need to mention how large the drive the partition sits on, after all it is limited by the partition size.

attached are screenshots of now (Karmic) and before (on Jaunty)

Using Nautilus 2.28.1,

Actually, it seems that this is more of an upstream design decision rather than a bug, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578574

The reason this was done seems to be mainly to group the various partitions of an external drive.
