Description

When you have more that one bfs partition (say, you boot from USB and also have a bfs partition on your hard drive) it's hard to distinguish what is what.

Ideally, it should show something like:

  • Haiku (USB) partition size
  • Haiku (SSD) partition size
  • Haiku (CDROM) partition size

It is possible to rename volumes to avoid confusion.

It's not always possible, tho. In some cases when you're trying to recover your system and you want to know strength away which partition is what.
