Win11: mounted NFS volume labels are not displayed in TC

[uqx]

I've mounted NFS volumes on Windows 11 (using mount command). Disks mounted with this command have no label in TC's dropdown (disk letters n,p,v):

Windows Explorer is displaying these labels correctly. Tested on TC v10.52.

Do you run TC as administrator? If so, does it work if you run TC normally (not as admin)?

No, TC is launched by normal user. NFS drives are mounted by normal user, so running TC as administrator makes them totally "invisible" (administrator does not see these drives at all).

TC does not show labels for any network shares, instead it should show the UNC paths of the server, e.g. \\servername\share
Since NFS doesn't link to SMB UNC paths, it shows nothing there.

The reason is that getting the volume names would wake up any disks on the server side just when opening the drive dropdown list. This is not only slow, but also increases energy consumption for nothing.

Good point.

Thats sad, because windows 11 can show those names perfectly in explorer. Isnt there an other way to show those names? I realy miss them since i swichted over from smb to nfs. Its so....cold and empty now when i switch drive letters.

if someone is still looking for an answer to this, there is a workaround:

try defining this in wincmd.ini

Code: Select all

D=CD-Rom
E=Burner
F=zip-drive

I had exactly the same problem and this worked for me
I found the idea in this thread: https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=3718
