Bug Description

Go to the 'Computer' Link or 'My Computer' Area where the active devices and the mounted volumes can be found. On secondary click a menu including the options "Rename... and Make Link" show up.

However on trying to rename any volume it gives the following error:
-- The item could not be renamed. --

and trying to Make a Link to the volume its gives the following error:
-- Error "Operation not permitted" while creating a link to "computer://...lume.drive" --
plus it gives the options to Cancel or Retry. Retry seemingly puts you in a never ending cycle

also, would like to add to the patcher that it's important also to provide an easy way to change the name of the folder that the partition gets mounted to.

The user only has this option when installing ubuntu.
