Re: Disk partition names

Yes, and is it a bug or a feature?

The ._disk# names are certainly generic, and hides information.

Is this the right place to hide information?

Until I get a piece of software that can easily interface with my backup
software and tell me the backup status of all of the partitions I'm not
sure I want this information hidden at this level.
