Alan,
Excuse the double post....
So...I am running Gnome 2.16.2 Is Gnome Volume Manager also managing the
drives and partitions I have?
And then what creates the volume name that is displayed on the desktop for
that drive?
In my example I have a USB external drive with a ext3 partition, there is no
listing in /etc/fstab for that partition, /etc/mtab lists it as, /dev/sdc2
/media/disk, and on the desktop the icon for it reads, 66.0 GB Volume. Where
is that configured?
