You don't say what the FAT "label" on the partition is supposed to be.
Please look at the top of a 'dir' in Windows, or the Properties of the partition in My Computer, etc. You've named the mountpoint "Mymusic," so the Nautilus window is likely to be picking that up from there; however I'm pretty sure the desktop component names the icon based on the HAL's conception of the label. See below, where all entries happen to be the same for the USB stick because it was automounted to /media/TRAVELDRIVE based on its label: $ lshal | grep TRAVELDRIVE volume.policy.desired_mount_point = 'TRAVELDRIVE' (string) info.product = 'TRAVELDRIVE' (string) volume.mount_point = '/media/TRAVELDRIVE' (string) volume.label = 'TRAVELDRIVE' (string) Of course, per #47349, the HAL could still be buggy or confused even if the label is (re)set correctly. :P ** Attachment added: "Example of Gnome deriving an object's name from the HAL's volume.label, as far as I know." http://librarian.launchpad.net/5076872/Gnome%202.14%20using%20FAT%20Label.png -- Mounted drive desktop link has non-sensical name. https://launchpad.net/bugs/60334 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
