Why not display volume name in Finder when a volume is mounted by OSXFUSE?

[Calvin Ngei]

See the attachment screen shot.

I use OSXFUSE and fuse-xfs to mount Linux / partition.

As we can see, the Volume name is Ubuntu.

But in Finder, it dose not display the volume name but ugly "OSXFUSE Volume 0(fuse-xfs)".

This behavior is too disgusting!

Please FIX IT!

The volume name needs to be set at mount time by the file system implementation itself or the user mounting the volume via option "-o volname=Name". In case no name is set at mount time OSXFUSE uses generic names like the one you are seeing. Have you tried using the volname option?

Regards,

Benjamin

I had been using -o volname parameter previously

After upgrading to Mavericks, this is no longer working. 

oddly, when I look at the help info for sshfs, i do not even see this as an option.  It is possible that I may have upgraded sshfs/osxfuse as i did do a  reinstall when first running into problems.

Currently I am using:

sshfs --version
SSHFS version 2.4 (OSXFUSE SSHFS 2.4.1)
OSXFUSE library version: FUSE 2.7.3 / OSXFUSE 2.6.1

Advice or insight into this much appreciated.

Has this been resolved?

I'm on Mavericks and OSXFUSE 2.6.2 and first time I mount my fs I see proper volume name set with -ovolname but after unmounting and remounting I see name of the folder as a mountpoint

in FInder

I found this

not related to OSXFUSE but with the same issues.

Any help appreciated

The "-o volname=[name]" parameter works for me in 10.9.3, but I couldn't get it to work unless I leave the mountpoint parameter in place, followed by -C, and then -o volname=. So my sshfs command looks something like this:

sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint -C -o volname=[vol_name]...

Hope that helps.

Thanks Dave

It works for me on 10.9.3 as well. I don't know if it's coincidence but looks like 10.9.3 fixed quite a few issues for me, including updating free space on the volumes and copying large files to OSXFUSE volumes.

Also working now under 10.9.3
