[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#602400: thunar: mount point for MP3 player is gibberish

[John Lindgren]

Okay, I can reproduce this by deleting the volume label (mlabel -c). 
So, it is a bug somewhere (though probably not in Thunar).  The fact
that the weird name shows up in /dev/disk/by-label suggests to me that
it is at the kernel level, but I don't know much about that.
