Display Mountpoint instead of Volume Labels


I'm using Gnome on Fedora 14 and I'm getting picky on how things gets displayed.

I have a couple of drives and the following entry on my fstab

UUID=someUUID /media/data1 ext4 defaults 0 0
UUID=otherUUID /media/data2 ext4 defaults 0 0

they mount to the correct directory but in my desktop
I see 2 icons with the volume labels same with the "places" menu up top.
Is there a way to replace the volume lables with the mount points?

I've been googling but I dont think i'm using the correct google terms.

Thanks

If you don't care about the label on the drives (since you're using UUIDs), you can just set the label to the mount point. For example:

Code:
tune2fs -L /media/data2 /dev/sdc1
