Binary package hint: nautilus

In "my computer" I have a large number of hdd partitions, many of them the same size. As the name of the partition (in nautilus) contains only the size, this means that many have the same name. In the details view the type is listed as unknown, however the type of the partitions could be retrieved from e.g. 'mount' or fdisk.

Also I cannot right click the partitions and get details such as which device the partition is on. This makes it hard to tell which partition is which.

This is on Hardy (alpha liveCD) with nautilus 1:2.21.90-0ubuntu1

I would expect nautilus to:
1) give a different name to each partition
2) make it easy to get detailed info on the partition (such as device name)
3) give extra information in detailed view over icon view.
