[Bug 41376] system:/media/ - what a mess

[shiechka]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kdebase konqueror (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Please use a more universal, robust way of naming the system:/media/
entries.

My confusing case :

The are 2 instances of / dir in system:/media/. One is actuall Dappers
root dir, the other is a partiotion labeled "/ " by my Breezy
instalatoin on the same box. Confusing.

My windows partition is described as some "10G Media". What the heck is
that? Ah, my windoows on sda1. Why am I forced to guess this?

The other partition is displayed with it's label name "/home". It is
labeled so as it is a HOME partition of my Breezy instalation on the
box. But obviously I have Dappers home somewhere else. Missleading.

I bet a newbie would get puzzled a lot.

Please don't use partitions labels for HDDs description. Rather their
device names. hda1, sda2, etc. That'd be robust and clear.
