Re: Rename partition in Nautilus Tree



Russell Gadd wrote:
I'd like to be able to customise the contents of the left pane of Nautilus file manager either in "Tree" or "Places" view. I have 2 hard drives and each has 4 primary partitions. Each of the data partitions shows up as a root in this tree view even though it is mounted under a directory name in the "File System". I'd like to do either of 2 things if possible:

1. Remove a partition from this view

2. If not 1 then can I rename a partition ? - for example due to the way the system was initially set up one partition shows as "Linux". This is mounted under directory "docs". It shows as "Linux" in the tree but I want it to be called "docs". If I right click this item and choose "Properties" the panel title is "docs Properties" and the "Basic" tab shows Name: docs, Type folder, Location: /, Volume: Linux. So the item in the tree/ places seems to be the Volume name. But I can't find where this is stored - it's not in /etc/fstab. Can I rename this somewhere?

tune2fs -L "new volume label" /path/to/partition


(I realise this may be a Gnome question rather than Debian - If there's a better list to post this on please let me know)
