In the first case, the volume name is at the mercy of the software vendor. In the scond, it is at the mercy of the individual administrator. Either of whom may have given little or no thought to using volume names in this way. Have the developers considered that this feature may break programs that routinely mount DVDs, such as Bacula? -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
