It really looks stupid that my old Breezy partition in /media/ubuntu/breezy 
shows up as "/" !!!

Today I had my very first confusing experience with this: I wanted to search 
for a file that is on my root filesystem in Dapper (mounted as / ). Well, I 
just went to Places > Search for Files... chose "/" as the directory to search 
and after hitting "Find" no results were returned....

Until I realised that "/" was searching on /media/ubuntu/breezy. In order to 
search within the Filesystem root, I had to choose "Filesystem" form the list! 
I know that is the usual behaviour, but it can be a bit confusing when device 
names show up as "/". So what happens if I've got a Breezy 
(/media/ubuntu/breezy) and a Hoary (/media/ubuntu/hoary) installation on 
different partitions? Will they both show up as "/" on the desktop and in 
nautilus?
