Hi,
I've installed F8 (finally took the 64bit plunge and it seems to be
going well so far). 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.)

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.
