You have been subscribed to a public bug:
My USB stick has volume name "USB DISK", it is default name created by
manufacturer. When I plug this stick tu Ubuntu 6.06 box, pmount
automounts it to directory "/media/USB DISK"; notice space in mount
point.
Disk Manager (GNOME menu System/Administration/Disks) cannot handle
space in filename, as when I select USB disk, it lists "Access path:
/media/USB". When you press "Browse" button, it shows empty folder, as
it opens file manager for "/media/USB", not "/media/USB DISK".
It was originaly bug #54536 against pmount but feedback from software
engineers is this is not a bug to use spaces, it is feature and all
applications that cannot handle such spaces have to be fixed and bug
agains such applications have to be created.
BTW, is there a simple way in Ubuntu Linux to rename USB disk volume
name without reformating disk (vfat file system)?
