Again, I'd mention a technique used on the old Amigas: If duplicate volume names were discovered, the first one remains as it is (so plug that drive into your master position as a simple way of predicting what will happen, or select it as your boot drive from a menu), the remainders got numbers appended to them. They were still accessible, but didn't bugger up booting and using your computer. It was dead easy to plug in another machines drive to fiddle with files, without disrupting the normal operation of your machine. It was also dead easy to boot from the newly inserted drive instead, and use it too, if you wanted to fix up your main drive. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
