occasional sidebar misrepresentation of devices

Post by grahamperrin » Mon Oct 22, 2012 12:27 pm

http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/publi ... de=gallery includes a screen recording and other items.

With ZEVO Community Edition 1.1.1 on OS X 10.8.2, sidebar behaviours seem unpredictable with ZFS volumes. Most noticeable with child file systems in the sidebar of Finder, it's possible that other apps are affected.

Also unpredictable: sidebar behaviour for an osxfusefs volume.

Some of the screen recording (2012-10-19 08-04 screen.mov) is of little interest (e.g. me dragging things into alphabetical order).

Of interest, from 08:09 on the timeline, for the last three minutes or so it's clear that volume blocky (a grandchild of volume tall):

  • is sometimes classified as a CD, DVD or iPod
  • sometimes does not appear when that class is shown.

(Appearance issues do affect other ZFS volumes, but the issues affecting blocky became most noticeable to me.)

Below, a screenshot from shortly after the screen recording. Note the discrepancies between:

  • the sidebar of Finder
  • the sidebar of the Save sheet of Terminal

I'll not rush to report a bug to Apple – I have not tested with a clean installation of the OS.

Partly related

Show child filesystems... – but in my case the startup volume does always appear properly when hard disks are shown.
