Haiku does not update name of a renamed volume until after a reboot

Description

I have three install from volume listed in the Install from button, but two of them were called "Haiku". To make sure that I was installing from the right one I renamed one of the volumes, but even closing installer and restarting it still showed the old names. Only after a system reboot did the new volume name show up. This was on 25002. I'll check on a fresher build soon.

  • summary changed from Installer does not update "Install from" volume list if they are renamed to Haiku does not update name of a renamed volume until after a reboot

This isn't just an Installer issue. Doing an ls / it still lists the old name given to the newly renamed volume. After a restart ls / then shows the new name. You would assume that when you rename something that it gets renames when you do it and shouldn't have to wait till after a reboot for it to show up. Changing the summary to reflect this, as it's not a bug in Installer. If you reint a drive in drive setup under Installer and give it a different name there, it DOES get picked up just fine with the new name in Installer. The problem happens if you right-click on a volume and then "edit name". If you try to rename a volume and then rename it back to the name it had before you get an error saying that name already exists! So it seems it's not updating when you expect it to be.

As the other bug was marked a duplicate of this one, Haiku should also update the mount point (when the mount point is automatically created by, say, Tracker) as a user usually will expect to find the mount point at /VolumeName.
