This machine has two ntfs partitions on it and under F7 I used ntfs-config to set them up. One is used for Windows and I want it read-only, the other is for shared data and can be read-write. When I installed F8 I discovered they showed up in the computer folder and mounted them from there; now they are both on the desktop, described as " 30.3 GB Volume" and "32.6 GB Volume" and both read-write. What I want to do is give them rational names and change one to read only. I have installed ntfs-config to set one of them up to a sensible mount point, but it still appears on the desktop as "30.3 GB Volume". Is there any sensible way to fix this? (I assume I could do some funny HAL rules, but that seems un-necessarily hack-ish.) -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list </a> </blockquote></div> In my experience, Nautilus pulls the volume label if available. It probably just isn't set. I used MLABEL for my iPod but it is a FAT32 file system... It looks like ntfsprogs has a command line method to set labels on NTFS partitions. <a href="http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsprogs.8.html">http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsprogs.8.html</a> Richard
